Following the appearance in early 1878 of articles about the phonograph,
which drew attention to his own deafness, Edison began receiving inquiries about
his proposed invention of a hearing aid. (See Thomas A. Edison Papers Microfilm
Edition, Part I, 15:3-166.) This folder contains correspondence inquiring about the
current state of the invention.
Approximately 30 percent of the documents have been filmed. These items

Mr. Thos. A. Edison,
65 Fifth Ave. , N. Y.,
Dear Sir:-
I was sorry not to meet you when I was in New York.
I wished to advise you just what has been accomplished in the sep¬
aration of cream from milk speedily, my idea being, that with this
thing in your mind, and by keeping you thoroughly posted with ref¬
erence to the state of the art, you would be enabled, sooner or
later, to accomplish this much-desired object.
I also desired to show you the model of an engine which I be¬
lieve you would recognize as a valuable improvement in this depart¬
ment. I know that the Brush Electric Light Oo. have adopted the
Comer engine, and are manufacturing same, and I believe you think
very well of that engine-* This new departure is not a rotary or
an oscillating engine: it is, in all essential features, just ex¬
actly the sane as the ordinary.reciprocating slide-valve ermines,
but i't has the advantage of being simplified vastly, doing away
with many parts, and the working parts all being boxed in, so tint
it can be rixi where it is dusty and dirty, Ac. It has an automatic
cut-off, and the "cards* taken from this engine are better than
those that have been taken from most of the best engines of the
day.
10 to 50 H, P. engines can pr obahLy be made for 1-3 less than
other engines of the same capacity, and possibly one-half less.
Will you kindly advise if the next time I am in New York, you would
like to see the model, and if so, ; I will call upon you and exhibit
it. We have sane larger engines completed, one, a 35 H. P* being
subjected now, to comparative tests with a very e xcellent automat-
id. cut-off engine, of the usual style. I remain,wishing you the
compliments of the season, and a very happy and prosperous New
Year,
Yours very truly,
J -- V

Dear Sir;-
The gentleman who writes this letter is a
very nice man, a friend of mine, and 1 would like
to inform him upon the subject of his letter 1 * 1
Do you know of any experiments in this direction?
My Dear Edison:-
New York, February aath. ltilirs.
i After you left town T was very sick indeed and
was absolutely unable to attend to any business until the day be¬
fore yesterday. My Doctor was very much afraid that T woul d have
pneumonia, but I have got through the most' serious part of my
severe cold and shall doubtless bo all 'right m u few days, if 7
take decent care of myself,
STOOD HUNTER, As soon as I was able to get down town I
callo'd on Mr. David Religman, and he told mo that owing to the"hoii-
days intervening practically nothing had been done with relation'
to th'o stool printer since you left. Ho expected, however, to got
matters in shape in the course of a few days, and T do not doubt
but what business will result'. A fow days before you loft you
told ine there v/as a great deal 7 might do in connection with the
stock printer in the way of preliminary work, so as to be able to
push the matter actively immediately ; U u returned. Will you
please send me a memorandum of the various matters that 7 can look
•upi Do you think it advisable for 1 onny to eo ahead and experi¬
ment with a seven dot letter?. jf so, will you please lot mo
have your ideas on the subject, so that I can 1 onny, or do you want
any experiments conducted with a view to improving tho shajo of the
letters and figures of the fine lino printer’.
I a/i), through Russell, ophating on the Police and Fire De¬
partments, with o view to getting thoin to consider a bid for put¬
ting their wires underground. 7 expect to go over to Philadelphia
to soo Hr. Hontloy early next week, v/ith a view to getting him to
T.A.E.2.
consider tho matter of putting his wires underground. 1 ruosi is
of course unable to do anything in tho way of laying at present
as we are having pretty severe weather here. In fact the earth
at tho moment is covered with quite a large 'amount of snow, and
tho frost is entirely too severe to allow of his starting his work.
His tubes, however, are practically finished. To-day he got about
three parts of the copper for his large Milan prdor,
AUTOMATIC, I understand that Bo nans* a Mackey leaves Paris
for Hew York about the last day of this month. Can wo not bring
to his notice the Automatic, arid with-this end in view have you
any suggestion to male as to keririy conducting some experiments,
with tho object of getting things in good shape. ;r understand
that Hacks/ vail favorably entertain some deal about the stock
priiitor should the fieligninns retire, and I think it would be a
really good thing if, at the same time, we could mako some ar- *
rangoiaont with him, with a view to putting your own letter Au- '
tomatic on the linos of tho 'Postal Telegraph (Jo.
RAILROAD TELEGRAPHS. T oricloso you herewith Copy of a re¬
port which I have got from Hradstreet’s on tho “Phelps Induction
Telegraph (Jo.*, of which (Jhoovor is the'main promoter. Prom this
you will see that (5hnover»'s Company has not raised any largo amount
of money so far. Jn fact they have simply put stock in the hands
of Trustees to soli, in order to provide them with capital, arid '
you may depend upon it that their present exhibitions are made'
with 'a view to “boosting* uj. their stock and so enable them to
dispose of it. I received a letter a few days ago, addressed to
T.A.K.3,
you, froii Choevor, drawing your attention to the fact, that »“Tho
Railroad Tolograph Co." (which I imagine is one and the saw* thing
as the Pliolps Induction TelegraphbCoJ was incorporated in August,
luu-t, and 'Choever asks that you will have tho name of our Company
which is “Tho Railroad Telegraph fi. Telephone Co.", altered,' as tho
tv/o names are so much alike. 'Tomlinson says that, as a matter of
law, there is no reason why wo should aJtor our name, but as a
matter of courtesy he presumes we should do so. Will you please
let mo havo your ideas on this subject. Will you also'let mo
'havo some sugostions as to the' methods I had bettor pursue, with a
view to drawing public attention to our inventions. If you woro
hero I should propose doing this by moans of an interview vitK '
yourself, but your being absent makes the matter rathorcdifficult
to deal wit,h, 1 presume our object should be to so draw atten¬
tion to our Company, as to prevent cheover from' sell mg the stock
of his Coi.ij.any, and thus compel him to tank'd a deal with us, but T
am in somov/hat of a quaudary to know what'"course T should pursue wh
w 'ith" a view to arriving at this dosirable result,.
ORE Mill,13-10. You may remember that 3ome time back the people
backing Connolly in his experiments opened some negotiations for'
u deal, by which they could get control of the ore separator, so
far as tho separating of iron 'sand is concerned. They have come
to me within tho last day dr two, and the enclosed letter from
them (William Pell v Co.) is the result of my conversations with
them. You will see that thi's proposition guarantees a minimum
income to the ore Milling Co. of (51,000. for 1HHS, S^fiOO. for
T.A.E.4,
IbUri, .$5,500. for lbb7 and S5,000. for lbbb, You must remember
that this income is only minimum, and that Roll R Co. anticipate
separating (iuite a good dual of sand, and in fact pushing the bus-
"inesB for all it is worth,' -They start on m cents per ton roy¬
alty and end up with 10 cents per ton, so that in order for us to
got above 85,000,’ in tho fourth year they have got to turn out
upwards of 50,000 tons of pure'iron sand.” ' I thin! that tho price
which they propose depositing for each machine ($400.) is amply
sufficient. In your first negotiations v/ith them you mentioned
'$.‘>00. I layst have your opinion on this matter immediate!y.
1 want you to road Roll & Co.’s letter very carefully, arid lb
write me fully on the subject, 'as should you bo agreeable to thoir
proposition 7 am going t'o the Cut tings’ and got them to agree and
close up a deal immediately with these people. They moan busi¬
ness. They thin]; they have a splendid tiling in' Connolly’s pro¬
cess.for making the sand into blocks, and they are going to push
"tKo matter 'for all it is worth. This matter not only means busi-
"‘ness to the Ore Milling Co., and a certain income to cover their
'■'current expenses, pending your producing results in connection with
'the"working of precious ores, but it also means work for tho Ma¬
chine Works, as tho Oro Milling Go'. Have not only to got ore sepa¬
rators from tho Machine Works, but’ Boll A Co. propose buying our
dynamos. 1 want to know what' size dynamo will charge two sepa¬
rators, arid also what xxe sizo will bo used for charging throe,
four and six separators respective!y, 1 have got tomquote pri¬
ces for dynamos to Boll F- Co, to use in connection with those sep¬
arators, providing a deal is made v/ith them. Rhoul d shop prices
T.A.R.,'5. 5
bo quo tod?, I notice in your previous negotiations v/ith thorn
that no profit beyond tho Machine Works profit was put on tho dyn¬
amos. Ono thing 7 like about' this px«pc<3x*x«K proposed contract
is that unless we got our money each year the contract is void.
If wo believe in tho business of working the iron sands, providing
the royalty is sufficient, T do not third, that wo cun very well"’"
object to making the contract, as Pell ,» Co. will push the busi¬
ness, in connection with Oonrio3 3y‘s new patent (which 1 understand
is a very good one), and if they make money out of it we are bound
to. They propose first of all working “on 'the Rhode Island Oodjfe
ifith a view to getting ail their apparatus in perfect order, but
immediately they close an arrangement with us they proposo getting
'the control of all tho Canadian deposits of sand, and later on” ’
'they will get control of that on tho Pacific Coast. ' .
You will, notice that Hell a Co, only propose -to deal with the
United States and Canada, but iri talking to me they stated that
should their home venture prove successful they propose going
further afield and working the deposits iri Mow Zealand and Norway
and Sweden. if you decide to make the arrangement with them,
which they propose and which 'is decidedly bettor, s« far as policy
is concerned, than the first proposition they made me, would it
not be well to see if we cannot manage to got some Pind of a patent
in Mow Zealand and Norway and Sweden, with a view to being in a
good position should Kell .* Co. eventually decide to work in
these countries. I cannot impress upon you too strongly that
this matter requires immediate action, and T trust you will answer
T.A.K.O,
tho various points in my latter fully, and immediately you get
this.
LIGHT BUSINKSS. Tho isolator! businoss is just as dull as
'’/non you loft. It shows no improvnmont at all. Tho tost too);
place at, tho "Chelsea" Klats on tho United Status plant, and they
•wore'not able to get, more than from five to six lamps por hor.no
power, notwithstanding that the U, S,' people had guaranteed ton.
'■'/hat will, be done in the matter is not Lnov/n yet. T understand
that exactly the same results wore' obtained 'from a plant in Phila¬
delphia installed by the U, fj. Go.
Bat'cholor is still negotiating with Oostor as to your Various
'claims, but as liatcholor will, write you about, this himself, T do '
not considor it, necessary to go into the matter,
I was round at luth. Street, yesterday, and T understand that
Tommy is vory much bettor,' and that, he will bo homo in about a
wee}..
Hoping you are having a good' time arid benefiting from the va¬
cation, I remain,
Vory sincerely yours,

My Dear Sir*- /• < !*-'t U4\ ^ .
- A Frenchmen, Uons. Tichenor, has taken out a patent / /
in France, for a device for making butter by electricity. Milk is [ ,
introduced into a vossel of special form, and in it is placed a
pair of electrodes, and the electric current isrfthus passed through
the milk. Buttet is fonned in little balls on one of the electrodes "
and it is said to extract the butter from 45 litres of milk, the
current from a dynamo-maohine for about 3 to 5 minutes, equal to
about 40 daniells, being all that is required. With such a current,
the balls of butter are sufficiently voluminous .to detach themsel¬
ves fr«ai the electrode, and float to the surface of the milk. The-
butter is then gathered and worked, just as in ordinary churned
butter.
Now, my dear sir, as I called your attention to this matter
two yoars ago or so, and have been urging its importance upon you,
desiring to work with you in developing this interest, I earnestly
? T °P° ! hatW ° to ? othar can got control of this invention, for the
United States, if it has been patented in this country, and also
that you will give this matter consideration and make such experi¬
ments as shall suggest themselves to you, for perfecting and im¬
proving the process.
I have already written to Paris to find out who this U. Tiche¬
nor is, his address, Ac. Have also sent to?Washington to see if ho
has applied for a patent in this country, and have directed my at- i
t0 i “ nodiatoly obtain a copy of the French patent, and send j
If Mr. EdLson is not at hctye, wo hope that his Private Sec-
l Plaaao sand one of-^he copies of this lottor herewith j
enciosed, to Mr. Edison, whom,ywe understand, is now in Florida. 1
This interost is too iumense to bo neglected. Can we have the as- I
surance that Mr. Edison will give this'matter attention t i
Faithfully yours,
D. H. Burrell.

I. A. Edison, Esq.
No. 65 5th, Ave. New York,
Dear Sir;
In rq:ly to yours of the 7th, inst,it is true we
have had a temporary injunction served on us for using the Ban¬
croft machine; hence we are unable at present to supply our trade
with Paraffine paper,as we have been doing in the past.
Regarding the Paper which you speak of,we would be pleased to
hear from you fruther about it; and see a sample of its, quality,
and )U}pfltoJ|ha$ its cost would be as compared with the paraffine
Waxed Paper which we have been handling; Also what would be the
Royalty on it, and the expense of a machine to use in the manufact¬
ure of the same, and would there be any probability of our infring¬
ing on any other Patent in case we should use it.
If you will advise us on these points,we will consider the
matter, and it will greatly oblige,
Very truly, yours,
J. W. Butler,
Treas,

The Trustees of Cornell University
have asked me to come here and assist them in building up a/great
school of engineering ^and promise io stand by me to the end .
I am at work , therefore, fitting up lecture rooms, gathering col¬
lections in the museums, a.ranging workshops^and gradually getting
ready for a good start . I think "bint,. in a year or twr, we shall
have the best material facilioies in -he world for teaching the
mechanic arts and the higher work of engineering .
In looking about here, on my arrival, I noticed that all
the dynamos were of other styles ihan ours and ..ha.. , so far as I
have observed, these is not a single Edison'mach.ne or an illustra
tion »f any one of your inventions here . There may , however, be
something in the Physical Department that I have not seen .
Can you not see a way to let me have a fi-light machine of your
best pattern? and such other of your inventions as you may likefe
have represented in our museums ? I am thinking of lighting up
the shops with the' ineand scent lamp of high power and that would
be a good way'of making the young men familiar with them . I can
buy the machi.no f.om the company if you think it necessary ; but
would much rather have it as a contribution from you personally,
if possible . The other companies seem to have monopolized this
kind of contribution to our.collections .
I hand you ( herewith,a circular describing the course th&V
I propose to attempt to teach . I shijld very much like youj^to
look it overhand give me any suggestions that may occur to you .
You will observe that a number of gentlemen are promised to come
here at their own convenience , in the course of the Winter, and g*
give talks to the boys,at their weekly meetings for debate ,or form¬
al lectures ,as they may find most convenient and agreeable .
CoOild you not come in soje day in the same way —I am sure that,*'"
the young men would receive you very enthusiastically . ■ You could
make your talk what you might think on -he whole best suited to
bring you into good fellowship with your audience .
I would apologize for taking your time in thus manner
but that I know your interest, in all that is proposed to help the
boys of the coming generations to get what yon and I could not get
(though we needed it so much,when we were youngsters
I was at the meeting of the American.Association,last
week-end hoped that you might be there . I hope that you will
come hereby and by, and see what we are doing . The Sci. Am. will
give some account with illustrations of our college that will in¬
terest you ,in a few weeks
v ery truly yours

By the use of this invention the heating of buildings to an exact;
and uniform tomperature is accomplished. Rooms and Auditoriums may
be kept at any temperature desired, thereby saying fuel, discomfort, ill
health, the cracking of woodwork, furniture, pictures, etc.
This apparatus applies equally well to all forms of heating and ven¬
tilating devices, the thermometer in the room automatically governing
the temperature. It is invaluable in Public Buildings, Private Resi¬
dences, Hospitals, Schools, Conservatories, etc.

Dear Sir,- ,/
®he Western Electric Company have reoently request¬
ed no to get for them a settlement of the old Telephone, and Pho¬
nograph matter with Edison, You will remember that 1 have
assigned my intereat a in that contract to the Western Electric
gompany by consent oy 111* Edison. i
It is probable that a representative of the Western Electric
flompany will call on you in Mew York to see about this matter.
Is it not possible to get it straightened out t I think you told
me one time that this was the^old matter of Edison 's which had
not been adjusted. Anything which yop can do to have the matter
attended to, X shall esteem a great favor,
Sincerely yours.

My Dear Mr« Insull,
65 Fifth Ave., City,
Enclosed is the letter which we
would like to have Mr. Edison sign. As you will see,it is merely a
recognition of us as the manufactures and selling agents of' his
standardizing light instruments. You will oblige us very much if
you will return this to us tomoroow, as I have just completed our
catalogue and want to use this of course. I send you a proof of
a cut of the instrument.

Dear Mr. Insull,
I regret having neglected to thank you for the
letter you sent me signed by Mr# Edison# Please excuse my negli¬
gence and accept my thanks for the same.
Mr. Edison used to have in the testing room in Ooereck St.,
a large Rhumkorf coil which gave a 10 or 12 inch spark I forget
which. The last time I saw the coil was two or three years ago,
when it was in the midst .of a lot of traps over there in the test¬
ing room and looked very much neglected. Perhaps we may be able
to dispose of it for you if Mr. Edison wants to sell it, as we
have customers who want a great many instruments of this class.
Will you please let me know sometime whether Mr. Edison wants to
sell this or not, and if so,the price he v/ill take for it# You
will understand that this is merely an inquiry with relation to two
possibilities, namely, that Mr. Edison wishes to part with the
instrument, and second^ Vvat the possibility is that we may some
day have some one come along who wants such a coil.
Secretary,

~ I Dear Edison: —
December 18th,:
1 shall hope to see you on the steamer tomorrow, if not
before. Shall be at the office of the Mercantile Trust Company
between twelve and one o'clock.
1 am leaving without anything definite upon several
subjects we have verbally arranged. Should papers not be ready in
time for me to take with me, please have them forwarded by first
steamer, as I shall only remain in England ten days, after which
communication with me by mail will be uncertain. At the Mercan¬
tile Trust Company they can always tell you where a cable will
reach me.
I would like to get a letter of a circular character
from you; I have already spoken to Mr Insull about this. Some¬
thing like the form enclosed would be satisfactory, or you can
alter it to suit yourself. Unless you can let me have this be¬
fore I go, please mail it by next steamer, addressed to me at
No. 6 Walbrook, London.
I would like to have you send me a first class pho¬
tograph of yourself, writing your name at the bottom of it in
your characteristic’chirography, and a few words to indicate
that it came from you to me, as, for instance, “to my friend.

Albert C. Bates,
A painted bath-tub is a nuisance* The majority of
bath-tubs are made of tin, and even made of the best tin, the sur¬
face soon wears off exposing the rusty iron on which the tin was
based.
If one of these unsightly tubs were filled with
water, acid, etc added, and, in short, all the other material that
enters into an electro-plating bath- could the tin particles be put
in and a battery introduced that would plate the whole surface of
the tub?
I know nothing of electricity.in any of its depart¬
ments, but it has occurred to me when I have looked on these un¬
sightly rusted tubs, that if they could be re-coated with tin by
some process of electricity without moving them, it would be a good
and welcome thing*
There are thousands of bath-tubs in this City which
are in a rusty condition, and if a method for re-coating their sur¬
faces with tin were discovered and made known, the demand to. put it
in practice would be worth the trouble of the experiment.
If this is a practical idea, please let me hear from you*

Gross-Kikinda,(HUNGARY.)
July 28th. 188.G.
Dear Sir: -
You will excuse me for taking the liberty to address you
by present lines and to', request you with the following:
Being electrician and mechanician - by knowledge and
practice - 1 have been entrusted to publish the first book, viz: -
a httPgariajy handbook for telegraph and telephone installations,
which I was so happy nearly to finish by the kind help of the first
european celebrities in the "Electrotechnical Science."
The above mentioned holp encourages me to write you this
letter and. to beg ( the whole future of me and my family depending
from the good success of mentioned handbook) you will kindly fur¬
nish me with an original article to crown therewith my work, which
treats even such chapters, - which especially are of your invention.
You will kindly excuse my request, - but, as you, Dear
Sir - are the most genial inventor of the XIXth. Century, - you
are easily ab.le by furnishing me an article on your inventions -
to lay the foundation-stone for the future and success of the whole
family of a poor electrician and mechanician!
[TRANSLATION]
(2)
Being in hopes that you will- kindly consider my request,
1 furthermore beg to ask permission to dedicate my book to you
Dear Sir, as to our Sun, in greatest respect!
You Y/ill be pleased to send the asked for articles -
either in french or in english language, - without delay; the il¬
lustrations, belonging thereto, I request to send me either in
drawings or in original cuts.(electrotypes)
Repeating my request for you kind assistance - 1 remain
Y/ith the highest veneration
Very Respectfully Yours.
Joseph Mederschitzky.

Dear Sir
As we do not succeed in getting any reply from either you o.r Mr.
Batchelor in regard to our account , ft appears to us that eitner you '
think in common fairness you ought not to pay for the drawings or patterns
of the special Engine you ordered, or that you are not legally bound to do
so.
If it is a question of common fairness we shall be perfectly willing
to submit the question to any dis interestd fair minded man y.ou may select
and agree to abide by his decision providing you witl pay if he so decides
There is no doubt in our minds as to your legal obligation , but we
do not fancy appealing to law where it\appears so plain a case of fairand
square dealing
Will you kindly say what you are willing to do in the matter
Aside from the Engine itself the move proved of great value to the Edison
Go. by reducing the price of the A & S Engines some hundreds of Dollars
each, and a great loss to us indirectly
An early reply will greatly oblige

Mr. Thos. A. Edison,
Menlo Park,N.J.,
Dear sir:-
Has Electricity (
extent in heat producing for any distance from the source
generation of the electricity?
HaB it ever been used for the practical fusing of Metals,),
such as in Blast Furnaces, for making Iron from the Ore?
Do you consider it practicable to use electricity in that!
What amount of power is utilized from transmission of 1 /
electricity ten (10) miles over proper conductors?
Please send me a catalogue of the generators you make ^
( with the amount of power they will generate,and convey 10 miles J
^and showing the amount of heat they will produce.
Very truly yours,
Ur. Thos. A. Edison,
65 Fifth Ave.t New York.
Dear Sir!
We have your letter of July 8thj and note shat you say
about the success had by one of your assistants. We beg to say
that we will follow out your suggestions, and will immediately
make further experiments in the same direction.

!.iy dear Sir:-
I enclose herewith copy of a loiter which I havo this
day addressed to oar newly appointed IVopibrn Uanagor, Hr. ti.S.Ba*
-gor of Chicago, in answer to a. sorios of loiters and telegrams
from him, and others, informing mo of the circulation of vilo and s
slanderous reports by Hr. Barton of the Thomson-llouston Electric
Co. of Boston, regarding the American Co. and myself.
You are no doubt aware of my faithful service in intro-
--dueing the T-H system to tho American arid Canadian public, as well
as the large amount of apparatus purchased from tho T-H Co.,all of
which I have paid them for, notwithstanding we are carrying many th
thousand of dollars in .value of their apparatus which wo have not
received pay for.
Since we concluded to abandon tho use of tho Thorason-
Ilouston, for a system Which I believe has superior merits. Hr.
Barton has very suddenly discovered that tho American Company and
its President are a very wicked lot of people, and for months has
busied himself in circulating the most vilo and wicked slander.
A long telegram received from Chicago today, asks me
to secure letters from Banks and other reliable sources to refute li
this mans ca-luranous.
This I would not do under any circumstances, but have
Comer 23 1 :!'Sl.and 5tt* Avonuo.
M
taken the liberty of asking fir. Batlgor and hi a friends to write
to a list of gontlcnon with whom I am acquainted, and many of
whom I have liad more or loss business relations with.
I write this to toll you why I have given year name as
a reference, and should' you receive an enquiry from this source, I
trust you will do me the favor of answering sane as you may think
tlio case fairly deserves..
Sincerely years.

This folder contains documents relating to Edison's dealings with the Ansonia
Brass & Copper Company, which supplied the copper wiring and tubing for the
construction of Edison central stations.
Only one document — a statement of account with the Thomas A. Edison
Construction Department, dated August 31, 1885 — has been filmed. Many of the
other documents concern problems involved in collecting the money owed by
various local illuminating companies. There are also numerous routine orders for
wire.

Dear Sir:- Gen Beauregard has enclosed the following letter, to you
in a letter which he requested me to read and forward to yon. I
dont know why he wished me to read it, unless it was that he wrote
such a miserable hand that he was afraid you could not make it out
I have therefore had a type-writer's copy made of the letter which
I enclose with his letter, to save you the trouble of spelling out
the original. Please give your attention to this, and as I do not
suppose the invention to amount .to much, answer it kindly and po¬
litely as he is a good friend of mine. He also regrets very much
•that he did not know that y.ou were in New Orleans so that he might
have paid you some attention. He could have made your visit very
pleasant, because he treated me very handsanely.
Our opponents here must be very much demoralized; they are
taking contracts where they can get them, for 50 per cent below
our figures, and if they can not get them at those figures, they
say to the parties that they will take the contract, at what ever
they can get. Yours trulyf

The Edison Company for Isolated Lighting,
65 Fifth Avenue,
0 ■* / /J V, .
The necessity for an artificial light, which is perfectly steady,
which emits no noxious gases, which is practically without heat
and which is without danger to life or property, has long .been
felt. The Edison System of Lighting fills .all these exacting
Requirements, and is by far the most perfect system of artificial
illumination at present in use.
. Safety to Life.
It is popularly supposed that the use of the electric light is
inseparable from danger to life, but this supposition is entirely
erroneous, so far as the Edison System is concerned. Where
cun-ents of high pressure are used great care is requisite, but
where currents of low pressure are employed, as in the case of
the Edison System, no possible danger can arise, as if the
naked wires themselves are grasped the current is scarcely per¬
ceptible to the. touch..®
In addition tp absolute safety to the person,.the user, of the
Edison Incandescent Light enjoys a degree, of immunity from
fire wljich.no other artificial form .of illumination affords. — The
Edison Lamp emits so little heat that the most inflammable
material may bebrought in close .contact with it .without the
slightest danger,of guch, material becoming ignited., Should a
lamr> be broken fronj carelessness or accident, there is no pos¬
sible chance of fire, as the incandescent filament contained in
the globe is consumed the .instant .it is exposed to the influence
of the atmosphere. '
. The Edison System is,.moreover, replete with devices of
every character to guard against danger from fire, in connec¬
tion,jyithRhe,wiring, and this branch of the work has. received
as.much attention,from Mr. Edison, with a view of making it
perfect, as the apparently more important of his inventions in '
connection with the system. As a proof of the completeness
of detail in this respect wherever -the Edison System is used,
no fire has ever, occtirre^l which could be attributed totiie elec-
tric.light.
Purity oft Atmosphere/
The Edison Light, as above stated, gives out so little, heat
[one-fifteenth of that given out by a standard gas jet) as to be
practically without effect on the temperature of a room; it is
entirely free from the noxious qualities of gas and oil, whicli,
are very prejudicial to the health, and it does not consume
oxygen or otherwise vitiate the atmosphere. . In fact.dt .com-
[CONTINUED ON THE NEXT FRAME]
Light.meets^this requirement, and may be'used in close prox¬
imity to thfc eyes without any injurious effect resulting there¬
from/'' ’’ w .
The Edison Co. for IsoijvTED Lir.itriNo, as the licensees
upder .the patepts.qfMr.i Thomas A. Edison, are prepared to
‘entjerfor t|ip,.instailationof the Edison System of Lighting,'by
pieans of isolated,plants, .in„all places where artificial illumina¬
tion is required, ... i . .. .. ..
'• T '’ DNiitiR'fi'tF. Purchaser’s Cofri-Rot.
The plants installed by this Company are- owned absolqtely .'
by the purchaser; the apparatus is entirely under his control,) -
and operated by him without'the need of any special technical
assistance. The Edison Co. for Isolated Lighting has installed
in the Uulted State!!, ■ of such plants, aggregating upwards,
of lamps, .all,of which are .operated without any assist¬
ance whatever from them.
In the. following pages will be found a description of the .
Component parts of a .plant, as installed by the Edison Co.
The lamp consists of a pear-shaped glass globe about four
and a half incites in height, exhausted of airland containing, a
filament of carbonized bamboo, slightly thicker than a horse
hair; which, .becoming incandescent by the passage of the cur¬
rent through.it,..emits a.beayitiful,, soft, mellow light, absolutely,
steady, equaling ,{116 Illuminating, power of a, gas jet- of the.bcst,
quality.....
The lamp is placed in arcceptaclp known as-.the “socket,”-
front which the, lamp can be removed by merely unscrewing it.
When a lamp becomes defective, it is.but'thc work..of.a mo¬
ment to retriove it from.,the socket and replace.it with*perfect,
one,, Thq..socket,is provi.ded.witlt a keyattacliment, by means
of which (he. light may be turned on or off, ..Each light is en,
tirely independent of the other, but any number of them can be
so arranged as to be controlled in groups by means of a switch.
This performs the same function for a number of lampsasdoes
the key-in.-the socket for each individual lamp. .,
[CONTINUED FROM THE PRECEDING FRAME]
The Dynamo.
The electric current for the lamps is supplied by the dynamo,
which consists'of a powerful electro-magnet, between the pole's
‘ of which another magnet revdlves, the simple revolution of the
' one magnet in the immediate presence of the other, generating
the electric current in the revolving one, from which it is dis-
' seminated through the conductive^ wires to the lamps. It re-
1 quires no special attention; and but a few minutes daily will
suffice to keep it in perfect running order.
Accompanying the^dynamo is a regulator controlling the,
pressure of the current, with a view to keeping the intensity of
the light normal. Where the motive power or number of
lamps burning is constant, a regulator, operated by hand, is
used, but where any considerable variation of speed or load
may be expected, an"automatic regulator is provided, wh.ich
compensates automatically for any such variation.
In order to register the pressure given out by the dynamo
machine, a pressure indicator is provided where no automatic
regulator is used, and this performs exactly the same function,
in connection with an Edison plant, as the steam gauge does
in the case of a boiler. The indicator is connected across the
circuit in the same manner as the lamp is connected, and indi¬
cates by means of a needle, attached to an electro magnet,
and having a pointer which moves along the face of a graduated
scale, and the variation in the position of which indicates
whether the electric pressure, and, consequently, the candle
power of the lamp, is too high or too low. The regulator has
then to be operated accordingly to bring the pressure back tq
. its normal intensity. Even pressure means not only even
candle power, but also long life to the lamps. If the lamps
pre run at high candle power, that is at high pressure, their
life will be short, whereas if they are run at their rated normal
candle power, their life will average far beyond six hundred
Motive Power.
It is not by any means essential that special motive power
should be provided for operating the Edison System. If a
plant is installed in an industrial or other establishment, where
power is available, the dynamo is usually connected by belting
to any ordinary line of shafting, provided, however, the speed
.of such shafting is reasonably uniform. Where there is only '
boiler power available, and it is necessary to install an engine
for the special purpose of operating the electrical plant, it is
advisable Sat an engine should be chosen which is especially
adapted to the requirements of the business. Highspeed
engines, which govern closely and are belted, directly to the
dynamo, without any intervening countershafting, are recom,
mended by the Edison Company. A good constant water
power is equally as satisfactory as steam, besides having the
advantage of greatly reducing the amount of the running ex¬
penses .of the plant
Steam Heating Boilers.
In many places boilers exist for the purpose of heating, and
•Such boilers are frequently capable of developing steam at the
pressure required by engines, though only used for the low
pressure required for steam heating or other purposes. In
such cases it will frequently be found unnecessary .to provide
special boiler power for the electric light plant.
Wiring.
The current is conveyed,from the dynamo to the lamps by
means, of two copper wires, called the mains, which run par¬
allel to each other. The lamps are connected directly across
these mains, each. lamp taking current from them entirely in¬
dependent. each of the others. Should none of the lamps be
turned on. absolutely no current circulates through the mains,
and the amount of current being taken from the dynamo at
any. time is in the direct proportion to the number of lamps ,

pressure required for steam heating or other purposes. In
such cases it will frequently be found unnecessary .to provide
special boiler power for the electric light plant.
The current is conveyed from the dynamo to the lamps by
means, of two copper -wires, called the mains, which run par¬
allel to each other. The lamps are connected directly across
these mains, each. lamp, taking cunent from them entirely in¬
dependent. each of the others. Should none of the lamps be
turned on, absolutely no current circulates through the mains,
and the amount of current being taken from the dynamo at
any. time is in the direct proportion to the number of lamps
'actually burning. The two copper wires are thoroughly insul¬
ated, and also protected by wooden moulding where neces¬
sary.
If the wires are overloaded, that is, used to convey more
current than they are calculated to carry, the tendency is to
cause them to become heated, and possibly to a dangerous
degree. To avoid lire, possible from this cause, an automatic
device, invented by Mr. Edison, is used, called “ the safety
catch,” or “cut-out," which is inserted in boih wires of the
Circuit at various points. The safety catch consists of a piece
of metal, offering greater resistance to the passage of the cur¬
rent, and fusible at a much lower temperature than the copper
conductors, and, consequently, should there be any trouble
with the wires, which would lead to their becoming heated,
the safety catch melts off. This immediately stops the flow of
the current through the damaged portion of the circuit, thus
absolutely eliminating the element of heating and averting all
possible danger of Are. ,
Economy.
Although possessing so many advantages over other forms of
illumination, the field open , for electric lighting would be
limited were it not capable of-demonstration, that as compared
with gas the Edison System is far more economical in its opera¬
tion, no matter whether the gas is obtained by means of the
ordinary system of distribution, as in cities, or is produced on
the premises of the consumer by special apparatus. In con¬
sidering the economy of Electric System, it should be borne in •
mind that the whole illuminating power of the light is available*
under all conditions, that an Edison Lamp may be put in any
position desired, with a view to taking the greatest possible ad¬
vantage of the light it affords, whereas in the case of gas it is
only possible to bum the jet in one position, and that currents
of air do not affect it is in the case of all other forms of artificial
illumination. If it is desired to invert an Edison Lamp, so as
to concentrate the light on a given spot, this can be readily
accomplished, whereas it is absolutely impossible to do so with
gas. Under these circumstances, it is obvious that the effect¬
ive illumination of an Edison Lamp is far greater than that of
a gas jet, even if the candle power be the same, when the
gas jet and lamp are placed in the ordinary manner.
[CONTINUED FROM THE PRECEDING FRAME]
c
Furthermore, the Edison Lamp, unlike gas, maintains its
regular candle power up to the moment of the destruction of
the carbon, whereas gas burners deteriorate to such an extent,
that the ordinary five foot burner, which is supposed to give
sixteen candles of light, will not average over twelve candles in
actual practice. But, assuming for the purposes of comparison
of economy, that the Edison Standard Lamp, and the standard
five foot gas burner, have precisely'the same illuminating
power, and supposing that the horse power requisite to drive
the dynamo, is already present, the cost per hour of running
too Edison Lamps, of sixteen candle power each, is as fob
r 5 horse power (5 lbs. of coal per hour per horse power
at $5 per ton).S .19
Depreciation on machine, 3 per cent.ot
Depreciation on lamps.14
Depreciation on brushes, cost of oil, &c...03
The hourly cost of running the same number of five-foot gas
jets would be:
100 gas jets, each burning five fcct'of gas per hour, or a
total of 500 feet, at $1.50 per r,ooo feet.S .75
The saving by the use of the Edison Light over gas, under
these circumstances, is shown to be 38 cents per hour of actual
burning, the cost of gas being over twice as much as the Edison
Light, .
Caution.
Thejprospectivc purchaser of an Electric Light Plant will be.
approached by parties who will make all kinds of promises as
to the advantages and economy of their system over that of
the Edison Company. When considering such statements, it
should be remembered that the policy of the Edison Company
is to promise less than it can perform, and to be prepared at
all times to substantiate such promises. Wherever such tests
have been made by scientific or commercial organizations, the -
findings have invariably been more favorable than claimed by
the Edison Company, and the
Highest Awards
have invariably been given to the Edison system, as against all
competitors, for economy and general superiority of the factor
examined, and has presented it In a more favorable aspect than
- this Company has represented in its dealings with the public
As, for instance, at the Electrical Exhibitions of Paris and
Londonj and the Industrial Exhibitions at Cincinnati and

Unhealtiiy operatives are as incapable of doing their prirt of
the work properly, as is an imperfect piece of machinery. It '
is therefore as important to the manufacturer that his operatives ’
should be robust and healthy, as it is that his machinery should
be hi a’ thorough state of repair, his desire being to get the best
results out" of both. To achieve this, in the case of the night
operative,-It 1 is essential that a system of illumination shall -be” 1

writer . *‘Our operatives ail like it, especially.our night hnhds, •
as the air is pure to'breathe, and unaccompanied by the drmvsy

to the Edison Light in their woolen mills, say: “The absence

We. have shoWtrthat the use of the Edison Light will enable
the manufacturer to’turn out better goods, and, consequently,
to get better prices; that mills producing goods of varying .
colors,scan now-run all night with, theaid of the light, whereas
it has been heretofore impossible to make the investment pro-::-

do so,- in favorof theecotioiriy : of the ligirt fo'tlie manufacturer,-
as tfK^fce all of vital importance to him in the conduct of his.
• business. .. But, entirely independent of these, the Edjson sys- -
tem is by far the most economical form of artificial illumination
at present in vogue. Tt should be borne in mind that no
special assistance is required to operate an Edison plant; that
after the instruction of > a week or so, the engineer of a mill
can run the plant as satisfactorily as a skilled electrician, and
that the attention the engineer will have to give to it will oc¬
cupy but a very small portion of his time daily, The dynamo
is usually placed in the engine room, and obtains |iower from
the same source as the min machinery, and is therefore charge-
able only with its proportion of the whole power. Add to this
the interest on the plarit, depreciation (which, is very small),
oil, waste, renewal of brilshes and lamps, and .the total running
expenses are obtained. The lamps are guaranteed an average
life of 600 hours of actual burning, and the dynamo' is guaran¬
teed to give lamps, of sixteen candle power each,
{breach horse power applied to a dynamo. ■

for a fire to be caused by the Edison lamp, as experience has
proved that even when a lighted lamp,'covered with cotton or

impossible to ignite the cotton or paper,; The moment the
glass globe is broken, the carbon filament is destroyed, and
this extraction is so instantaneous, that no fire can occur Th

The Edison Company for Isolated Lighting,

New York,-F.ebpuar.y....lOth....-i88 5 .
Thomas A. Edison, Esq.
City.
Dear Sir:-
Por your information, and in order that there may be
no misunderstanding in the matter, I beg to give below the result
of the telegraphic negotiation with Mr. Garrison as Treasurer of
the Brockton company yesterday. My first telegram read as follows:
“W. L. Garrison, Treasurer,
132 Federal street, Boston, Mass.
Edison consents following arrangement without pre-
judcing rights under contract and in consideration your
company paying notes and withholding suit he will ex¬
change two large dynamos for new ones with guaranteed
capacity sixteen hundred lamps and exchange two.small
dyanmos for new ones with guaranteed capacity eight-
hundred lanps regarding small engine X find it was not
sold for eighty horse power but for what it is simply as
reserve therefore if you accept engine as it stands-
Edison will pay freight both ways on exchange above
mentioned four dynamos this must be settlement all
claims in full and is best can be done answer quick.
P. S. Hastings,
Treasurer".
to which Mr. Garrison replied as follows
“Dispatch received directors accept proposition provided
Edison pays for labor in replacing dynamos and also cost
of resetting small engine including new bets at suit¬
able distance from dynamos greatest economy to be used
answer
W. L. Garrison,
Treas. ".
to which on authority of yourself and Mr Insull I replied as folle
“Edison accepts additional conditions-quoted in your
dispatch of to-day”.
Kindly confirm the above at your convenience.
Mr. Garrison writes under date of the 9th. inst. that
he will use the station men to do the work of replacing dynamos
£c., so far as may be possible, without making any charge for their
services, and that it is only for such extra labor that it may
be necessary for him to enploy that is referred to in his telegram.
Mr. Garrison adds-that the notes will be promptly paid
although he has no notice of the one due on the 11th. ins-t., but
states that he vill look out for it.
Very truly yours,
IV. L. Garrison, Agent,
Edison Electric Light Company,
131 Federal Street.

[ENCLOSURE]
New York, February 10t,h. 1885.
Thomas A. Edison, Esq.
City.
Dear Sir:-
For your information and in order that there may be
no misunderstanding in the matter, I bog to give below JtherresQlt
of the telegraphic nogitiatioh with Hr. Garrison as Treasurer of
the Brockiton company yesterday. My first telegram read as follows:
"W. L. Garrison, Treasurer,
132 Federal street, Boston, Mass.
Edison consents following arrangement wilthant pre¬
judicing rights under contract and in consideration your
company paying notes and withholding suit he will ex¬
change two large dynamos for new ones with guaranteed
capacity sixteen hundred lamps and exchange two small
dynamos for now ones with guaranteed capacity eight
hundred lamps regarding small engine I find it was not
dold for eighty horse powor but for what it is simply as
reserve therefore if you accept ongino as it stands
Edison will pay freight both ways on exchange above
mentioned four dynamos this must be settlement all
claims in full and is best can be done answer quick.
F. S. Hastings,
Treasurer.”
to which Mr. Garrison replied as follows:
"Dispatch received directors accept proposition provided
Edison pays for labor in replacing dynamosmand also cost
of resetting small engino including now beltSsat suit¬
able distance from dynamos greatest economy to be used
answer.
W. L. Garrison,
Trees.”
toi.iwhich on authority of yourself and Mr. Insull I replied as follows
"Edison aeoopts additional conditions quoted in your
dispatch of to-day”.
Kindly conficm the above at your convenience.
Mr Harrison writes under date of the 9th. inst. that
he will use the station men to do tho work of replacing dynamos
«c., so far as may bo possible, without making any char ge f or their
services, and that it is only for such, extra labor that it may
be necessary for him to employ that is referred to in his telegram.
Mr. Garrison adds that the n^tes will be promptly paid
although he has no notice of the one due on the 11th. inst., but
states that he will look out for it.

Thomas A. Edison, Esq.,
65 Fifth Ave, New York,
Dear Sir:- • . . . .
Your letter of April 9th, to C. B.
Story in answer to a proposition of his looking
to a sale of Sunbury EJectric Light Stock, has
been handed to me by Mn Storey. You state
in this letter that there is about *2400. of '
stock still due you from the Sunbury Company.
You will remember that you agreed with me in i
New York last October to deduct from this amount
the sum of $750. for defects in the construction
of the Plant. As to the promoters Stock that !
is duo to you, the amount I agreed you should
have, in addition to what has already been'deliv- j
erod to you was $400. This amount is ten
percent of the last increase of the Capital Stock I
of the Company and it still-remains in the hands 1
of the New York company. I have written them '
to-day either to forward this stock to us or to
deliver it to you for us.
I would like, if possible, to get something
out of this business before the bottom falls
out of it entirely, and as far as I am concerned
will gladly sell at fifty cents and consider
myself very fortunate if I get that. I have
for some time past considered the amount I had
invested in tho business as lost, and anything
that 1 can now get out of it will W as good as
found. We hold tho proposition of settlement
made by you and-which was accepted by us, and in
this you agreed to take $1030. in of your
claim against our Company;
Very respectfully yours,
Apru 13, h, 18®.

Dear Sir:-
We are making an effort to re-organize
the Sunbury Electric Light Company, and to carry
out our plans, it will be necessary to buy ad¬
ditional stock if it can be purchased at a low
figure. Will you please send me at once a
thirty day option for all the stock you hold at
the very lov/est figure you will take? Please
state in the option the number of shares you
hold.. I have not very much hope of carry¬
ing put this plan, but it may succeed if the stock
can be bought at a low enough figure. Please
attend to it at once.
Very respectfully,

Dear Sir:-
Your letter and statement of Sep. 4th as to the account
of the Sunbury, Shamokin, Mount Carmel, and Bellfonte ctmpanies are
duly received. It is possible I will have to ask for items of the
Sunbury account. I will meet the Sunbury Board to-morrow, and
you will hear from me after that conference.

Dear Rir:-
I do not suppose there is much use writing you this
letter os t have frequently done so before but not under the sure
circumstances, and I trust you will treat it as strictly confiden¬
tial.
As you are aware we have made quite a large extention in
the Middletown plant. We are lighting the streets of the whole
city and people are very enthuasiastic in their praise of the irt
light. This you will remember is where we closed up the Brush
Co. and T think with a litTle extraordinary effort, with good suc¬
cess we can also close sip ths «as Co., but what S want to say to
you is that T am very uneasy about the plant. Everything now is
in splendid condition and it is running in fine shape, but T was
up there last evening, little accident happened that showed
Mr. Hoffman arid myself who were present that its success seems to
hang upon a slender thread. The eledrical work was planed
and put up by Mr. Leonard in whom I had great confidence and i t

Dear Sir:
I take pleasure in announcing that a quarterly dividend of one per cent., being the first dividend on the
capital stock of this company, is payable on August 1st, 1885, to shareholders of record at the closing of the
transfer books July sad, 1885.
If you will kindly fill up and send me the enclosed order, the amount of this and of all future dividends on
stock in your name will be sent by mail to your address.
I transcribe an extract from the minutes of the meeting at which the dividend was declared, which exhibits

For your further information, I may state that the long pending questions between this company and the
Edison Electric Light Company (arising from the excessive cost of the Pearl street station, as originally installed),
have at last been settled in a manner satisfactory to your Board, by the deposit by the Light Company, in trust, of
171a shares from the stock of your company heretofore held by it—the stock so deposited to be used in promot¬
ing the installation of an uptown station, and, meanwhile, to forego all claims to dividends; consequently, divi¬
dends are payable only on 8288 shares of stock upon'which the earnings of the last six months are at the rate
of over OJo per annum.
Very respectfully,
J. B. SK.EHAN,
Treasurer.

Dr. Eugene Crowell, President,
Edison Electric Light Co,,
05 Fifth Avenue, City.
Dear sir:-
Referring to pur several interviews, with reference
to the various claims'I have aginst your Co., and your request
that I should make a statomontAof same to you in writing, I beg
to draw your attention to the fact that under my contract with
your Co, I am entitled to receive from them, under certain’con¬
ditions, 5100,000, in cash. As I consider that this money is now
due, and in view of the fact that there is a large balance due
by me, under ray subscription to the increase in the 'capital stock
of the Co,, I shall be glad to have an adjustment'of my claim of
8100,000,, the same being set off against the amount which I owe
on the stock. In making a settlement of this matter, I desire
Mr. Batchelor’s stock to be considered as part of my own.
With relation to the various disbursements made by me, on
behalf of your Co,, I beg to hand you herewith statement showing an
expenditure of 838,201,04 in connection with experimental work,
with the view to the perfection of a system of electric railroads,
I would remind you that undermy contract with your Co, the inter¬
est in electric railroad patents is divided as follows:- fifty
two per cent .to-your Co., twenty four per cent to myself and twenty
four per cent to raise the necessary capital for further work.
In view of the changed circumstances with relation to the dispo¬
sition of the Railroad interests I agreed to accept one third and
to Jour Co, .taking two thirds of. any proceeds that mayi be received
from the railroad patents. I would like to have this'arrangement
formally ratified by contract, and I would impress upon you that
care should be taken by your Co., so that my personal interests
may be protected, with a view to my being reimbursed the amount
of the account above refrred to. Inasmuch as y.our Co, only spent
one half the amount which I have spent, I think that they should
agree to an arrangement by which they and myself shall bo reim- •
bursed out of pocket expenses, in connection with this business,
in exact proportion to the amounts each has expanded. That is, if
$30,000, is received on account of this joint expense, $20,000.
should come to myself and 810,000. to the Co, In addition to the
amount of $30,201,04, I am entitled to receive from your Co, an
amount equal to that paid me for iny first experiments on electric
railroading,.which amounted ta about $10,000,
I also beg to hand you herewith account of the Construction
Dept, for $15,345.58, being for work done in connection with the
engineering portion of your Co’s, business. . At the time of the
formation of the Construction Dept, arrangements were made between
Major Eaton and myself by which the Engineering Dept, of your Co.
was practically abolished. I took over most of the employees of
your Co’s,‘Engineering Dept., and arranged to make canvasses of -
cities and do all 'the necessary engineering work in connection
with the making of estimates for central station plants, ■ If I
obtained a contract for the installation of a plant I was to bear
the engineering and canvassing expenses applying to such plant,
but in the event of a failure' to obtain a contract this expense
was to be borne by your Co. The above referred to account is for
.such expenses. I my may mention that, under the instructions of
the Auditing Committee appointed by the last Board of Directors,
your Treasurer, Mr. Hastings, made a careful audit of this account,
3
for which purpose I placed at his disposal all my vouchers and
books of account. He can bear witness to the fact that not a
cent of profit was made on this -account, but that it represents
cash actually paid out by me. ,
V/hen installing the first village plant I found that many
improvements of a minor character were necessary, in order to
adapt our system to the requirements of town and village lighting.
I accordingly engaged the necessary experts to improve the then
existing instruments, and to produce others which were requisite.
Mr. K, J. Sprague was engaged entirely on this class of work, and
in working up a system for the more rapid determination of con¬
ductors. 1 hand you herewith an account of 82, 748 . 04 , being the
amount I paid him, '
In consequence of defective instruments, and the non-exist¬
ence of others,! was compelled to keep my experts at stations for
a period far beyond what would have been necessary had the system
been complete, so far as it applied to village work. In this con¬
nection I spent 82,212,18, for which I also beg to hand you a
statement,
I also hand you a statement of extraordinary lamp breakage,
$194,10, alterations on pressure indicators, $202.50 and an ac¬
count for experimental work $ 109,04
' The raa ults of these various expenditures is that your Co.
has to-day a system which they can readily put up in small towns
and villages, without going to any further expense in the way of
experimental work for this purpose, and although the several ac¬
counts above quoted by no means represents my losses in connection
with the Construction Dept., owing to defective instruments, they
form, what I believe to be a fair claim against your Go. from which-
4
they have and will derive benefit; I may mention that the cost
of the present pressure regulator, used by your Co,, and so ab¬
solutely necessary for the proper working of its system, is in the
above accounts. This instrument was invented by Mr. F. j. Spragne,
whilst working for the Construction Dept., and will be assigned to
your Co. on the settlement of the above accounts.
It being necessary to obtain certain legislation in New Jersey,
to enable your Co. to enter into the illuminating business in that
State, Major Eaton, at my request, on behalf of the Co,, agreed to
bear the expenses in connection with getting the necessary bill
passed through the N, J. Legislature, The amount expended by
me in effecting this was SI,753. Major Eaton gave a check for
81,000. on this account, and stated that this was all he ,was au¬
thorized to pay, as he had assured his Board that I had stated that
•tlie expenses would not be more than this amount, All I can say
to this is that Major Eaton must have misunderstood mo, as at the
time I spoke to him- about the matter I knew the expenses would
have to be paid, and was in fact paying' them, in addition to having
promised 81,000,, which was payable after the passing of the Act
required, I have therefore paid 8753, more than I received from
Major Eaton, and hand you herewith an account for same.
The amount of 82,175,25.is for services rendered by Mr. Jas,
A, Russell, in connection jcbhx with your Go's, patent business.
Mr. Russell was employed by me to do detective work in hunting up
evidence with relation to our interference cases, '
The account 81,389.42, for experimental work, is for a por¬
tion of my ordinary experimental expenses which your.Co, has usu- .
ally paid from week to week, but for some reason, which I do not
5
understand, the amounts i-n the above referred to account were not
paid to me.
I disbursed the sum of *388. in working up an agitation in
the daily press, having in view the injury of the gas interests,
and more especially those of the water gas companies, for which
amount I hand statement herewith.
The account of *2,075., paid by me to Mr.VJohn C. Tomlinson,
is for services rendered in connection.with your Co’s, business,
mainly in connection with interference cases, and the working up
of evidence with a view to taking action against infriggers of the
lamp patents, 1 engaged Mr. Tomlinson because I was very much
dissatisfied with the conduct of the legal portion of your Co’s,
patent|>affairs, and considered that my patentsvwere not receiving
the attention which they should have received, and the only means
by which I could see my way clear-to getting an improvement was'
by engaging counsel at my own expense,
I may mention that, in addition to the above, I have spent at
the Edison Machine Works upwards of *30,000, in improving the va¬
rious types of dynamos now used by your Co. This experimental
account has-been written off by the Machine Works to profit and
loss,
I hav
Station of the First District on a paying basis. I paid this sum
to Mr. C, E, Chinnock, in consideration of the extraordinary ef¬
forts he made to bring the station from a state of absolute fail¬
ure to one of perfect success,
X am very anxious to have the various claims, set forth above,
recognized at the earliest possible moment, and I desire to have a
and it is not my intention to make any claim for saflie,
e also expended 'in my efforts to place the Central
6
cash settlement for the various accounts which represent money

The Edison Electric Light Company,
GG FIFTH AVENUE,
Nkw York, May astli, 1885.
Dkak Sir:
For some months past we have been negotiating with the Sprague Electric Railway and Motor Company
with a view to securing for our Central and Village plant companies, the use of the Sprague motor on the most
advantageous terms.
A practical motor has been a want seriously felt in our system, and the value of it as a consumer of electric
current, especially during hours of daylight, when the maximum of current is not required for lighting purposes,
can be easily appreciated.
Tlie Sprague motor is believed to meet to the fullest degree all the exigencies of the case, and the Edison
Electric Light Company feels that it can safely recommend it to its licensees as the only practical and economic
motor existing to-day.
In the couise of our negotiations with Mr. Sprague, it was found that his motor could be rendered even
more efficient, though only to a slight degree, if he were allowed to combine in it some of our armature and brush
patents, and we have finally agreed to allow him to do so, subject in each instance to the approval of our Central
and Village Station Companies, and in consideration of his paying them through our company a royalty of three
per cent, on all motors sold by the Sprague Company to any parties whomsoever within the respective territories of
such Central and Village Station Companies.
Our own company has 110 interest whatever in the Sprague Company and does not derive any benefit or
profit directly or indirectly through this arrangement which we are prompted to make solely in the interest of the
Central and Village plants in which we are shareholders and which we therefore desire to see developed in every
possible way.
It is entirely optional with your company to consent or not, so far as your territory is concerned. Our
advice is that you do consent and so secure to yourselves the royalty on all motors to whomsoever sold by the
Sprague Company within your territory. If you do not consent, the Sprague Company will doubtless use other
patents (as they involve only secondary details) and produce almost as efficient a motor, from which, however, you
will not derive any benefit in the way of royalty. The Sprague Company also contemplates naming special
prices for motors furnished to Edison illuminating companies if used to any considerable extent.
We enclose a copy of the conditional contract executed between our company and the Sprague Company,
also two copies of the contract you should execute if you approve of same and desire to avail of the benefits
thereof. On their return to us, our own company will then sign them and forward one copy for your files.
I enclose herein a circular setting forth the merits of the Sprague motor, and awaiting the pleasure of your
advices, I am
Very respectfully,
F. S. HASTINGS,
Secretary of the Edison Electric Light Co.

To the Stockholders of
The Edison Electric Light Company :
Since the last annual report of your Trustees, your Com¬
pany has passed through au important and gratifying year,
and at its olose the outlook for a prosperous future is oleorer
and rests on a better foundation than at any time in our
history.
The predictions made in past years that the Edison Light
had come to stay have been amply verified, and each suc¬
cessive year shows more conclusively its superiority over
otlior presont known methods of artificial illumination, .and
proves that it is able to successfully stand the test of time.
The first isolated dynamo sold by your company was
started May 2,1880, aud the first central station, that of New
York, Sept. 4,1882. In these, ns in all subsequent installa¬
tions of isolated and central station plants, The Edison
Light has gamed favor, and is now more popular with those
• who uso it than when the light was first turned on. Indeed
■it is a remarkable faot that the plant above referred to. as
being the first isolated installation, is in perfact working
order to-day, although marked changes and improvements
have been made in the manufacture of our dynamos and
electrical appliances, as well ns in our general system of
electric lighting sinoe that time.
All of our various interests have associated with them
the best obtainable electrioal and mechanical engineers,
whose aim has been to simplify and cheapen our system of
oleotric lighting, aud as a result of this combined experience
■aud effort, little remains to be desired in our system of cen¬
tral station and isolated lighting of to-day.
Luring the year 10 central station companies have been
organized, viz.: Harrisburg, Pa., Des Moines, la., York,
Pa., West Chester, Pa., Tamaqua, Pa., McKeesport, Pa.,
New Brunswick, N. JV, "Wilmington, Lei., Boone, la., Johns-
'town, Pa.
There are now 30 central station plants in operation or in
course of installation in the United States, a oomplete list
of which is given below:

' On August 1st, of the present year, the Edison Electric
Illuminating Company, of New Tork, paid a first quarterly
dividend of 1% to its stockholders and has just delared' a
similar second dividend payable Nov. 1st. This company is
now on a firm financial footing, reached under extraordinary
difficulties. . • v
As stated in our last annual report, this was the pioneer
central station, and like most pioneer enterprises, it was sub- - \
jocted to peculiar difficulties at almost every point. The'most
serious of them whs, of course, the great cost of installing
the plant, whioh was so far in excess of the very imperfect
estimates which could then be made, that the entire re¬
sources of the company were not only oonsumed, but it
was left with a heavy floating debt, to embarrass • it
in its operations. It is peculiarly gratifying, therefore, to
be able to state that the company has at last sueceeded in
discharging that debt entirely from the earnings of the
station, and is now paying moderate dividends, with a cer¬
tainty of increasing them as soon as tlio capaoity of the"
station is enlarged.
The following extract from the letter of the Treasurer of
the Illuminating Co. of New Tork, dated July 17, 1885,
to its stockholders, announcing the quarterly divi¬
dend, the same being an extraot from the minutes of tie
Company, will show its position to be a Btrong one:
[CONTINUED FROM THE PRECEDING FRAME]
“ ^f* 10 president then exhibited n detailed report of the earnings niid
expanses of the company, showing that the not earnings for the six months
ending June 30,1885, after paying nil exponses of ovory description, wore
■ $35,000.00."
“ The president further stated that the Company is absolutely freo from
floating debt of any kind, the debt incurred in increasing the capacity of
tlio Pearl Street Station buying boon entirely paid from earnings, and Hint
after such payment, und after payment of nil outstanding accounts for
current supplies,-&c., there remained from earnings, a sum of $10,580.40
cash, on hand applicable to dividends.”
Tlie Treasurer tlion adds:
' “For further Information, I may slate that tlio long ponding questions
betwoen tltis Oompnuy and tlio Edison Electric Light Co., arising from tlio
excessive cost of tlio Pearl Street Station, ns originally installed have at
last boon settled in a manner satisfactory to your.Hourd by tlio deposit by
tlio Light Co., in trust, of 1713 shares from thu stock of your Company
heretofore held by it, tlio stock so deposited to bo used in promoting tlio
Installation of an uptown station, and meanwhile, to forego all claims to
dividends! consequently dividends uro pnynblo on only 8,888 shares of
stock, upon which the earnings of the last six months are nt tlio rate of
.6* per annum/ ’’ ' ' '
Torn 1 Trustees tieeni it tv matter for congratulation that tlio
claims of the Illuminating Co. of New York, against your
Conipany, liavo been amicably settled ns above stated, by .
the surrender of part of the stook of the Illuminating Co.,
held by your Company, this stook having been placed in the
hands of three trustees, the trust deed providing that a part
or all of this stook may bo used for the purpose of aiding in
securing.the necessary funds for an uptown station.
...The Trust further provides . that. in case .the ■ IUnttinnt-
; ing Company does not within one year, from July 1,1885,
. sucoeed in obtaining the sum of §500,000, and prooeed with
the installation of an uptown distriot, then, 1,000 shares of
the said stock shall revert to your Company, and in the
event of the Illuminating Company' sueeeding in raising the
above sum of §500,000, then §125,000 in 'stock shall be
given to your Company as its percentage of the increased
,.capital, in payment of license.
i'The time appears to havo fully como when anothor dis-
'triot should be occupied in New York. Careful and reliable'
. estimates based on the results achiovod by the down town
, district, show that a district installed uptown, with all the
latest improvements, with presont decreased cost of install¬
ing and operating, and in a location which is conceded to
be much bettor lighting than the down town district,
would return very handsome dividends. There seems to be
every indication that tiro money will bo raised early this
winter, and with the incentive given by the trust stook,
.before alluded to, your Trustees boliovo that success is as¬
sured.
The effect on the business of your Company of a.second
distriot in Now York qan scarcely Jjo overestimated. It
would, without doubt, give an impot’us to the establishing
of similar districts in other largo cities, and bo a wonderful
stimulus to central station lighting throughout the country.
One of the most satisfactory of your licenseo companies
is that of Harrisburg, Pa. This plant has been recently
completed, and the plan of construction ns well as its per- ’
feet working is the admiration of all who see it.
An extract from the Now York “ Electrioal Eoview,” of
June 20, 1885, relating to this plant, will bo of interest:
“ Thl “ company has licon in. operation about threo months, and is
tiling. It generally takes a gas company a year to get their business on a
pacing business, and this lias heretofore been the result with starting Con-'
•'Ira' Electric Light Stations on the incandescent system.' It has generally
taken a long time to got customers to pay for wiring their stores, but this
Company adopted another rule.
" Thoy have paid for all the wiring themselves, simply requiring a eon- v
tract for a yenr at so much a lamp, payable monthly. The avorago charge •
(s soventy-flvo cents for alnmp (of sixteen candle power) a month, and tlio
system is so popular that ovory lamp of their present capacity (8,BOO) is '
sold, and thoy have decided to enlarge their works. They havo among
their customers the lighting of tho State Capital at §1,000 a month tho 1
year round, and havo a threo yours’ oontroct.'. In their presont district
there are twelve hotels, largo and small. Those have nil discarded gas all 1
over tho liouso and use nothing but Incandescent lights.
“ Thoso lamps can bo lighted at any time of tho day or night, ns tho
’-.engines aro always at work. With a few exceptions the Edison lamps are
fitted to tho old gas fixtures, and tho nverngo expenses to tho company
...,C<s.ooslof-wlrIiig],JiavO’bdon about §3.00 por lamp. Tho popularity "of
the new light is so strong that without oxeoptlon all tho users havo taken
“ In Harrisburg tho wires are all overhead and a better working station
cannot be found in this country. Tho electric light station is one of the
best ovor oreotod and situated among residences closo to tho State House, .
“ K wln P n y any ouo Interested iu tho success of incandescent lighting'
...to visit Harrisburg uud see tho plant in operation."-
.Since the above was published tbo Harrisburg Company
’has inoroasod tho capacity of their station to 5,000 lights.
Jkoy state that thoy are alroady oarning over twenty-fivo
per cent, on their capital stook, and oxpoot to do still'
[CONTINUED ON THE NEXT FRAME]
“ It -will pay nay one Interested in the success of iucoudcscont lighting
...to visit Harrisburg and see tho plant In operation."-
..Since the above was published tho Harrisburg Company
.-has increased tho capacity of their station to 5,600 lights.'
!?hey state that they are already earning over twenty-live
per cent. , on their capital stook, and expeot to do still'
.better. _.
The foregoing statement regarding Harrisburg is liot in
any way exceptional, and only fairly illustrates the great-
progress that has boon made during tho past two years in'
perfecting our central station systom, not only eleotricnlly,
but also commercially. In faot.it -is from the commercial
standpoint that the greatest progress has been made, for"
while the effioienoy of our plant and method of install
■tion, as adopted to-day, are in every way vastly superior to
*>ur earlier work, those facts in themselves would not be’
■.sufficient to enlist capital in this most important branoh of
our business. Tour Company has therefore striven earnestly
to improve and develop the methods of central station instal¬
lation on a sound dividend-paying basis, and it can now be
stated emphatically that all our installations of tho past year'
•or more have proven to be profitable enterprises. The
faults, electrical and financial, which characterized our in¬
stallations of two or three years ago, are now happily
things of the past; and with two or three exceptions, even
thege earlier installations have developed into prosperous
and dividend-paying companies; In some cases, to bring
this about, reasonable concessions have been made by your
Company, and the wisdom of suoh a course must bo so
apparent that your Board does not doom any extended
comment necessary.
[CONTINUED FROM THE PRECEDING FRAME]

negotiations, whioh are now so happily terminated.
An agreement lias been made with the Sprague Motor
Company allowing them to use sovoral of our brush and
armature patents in connection with their motor, which
increases its efficiency. As consideration for this privilege,
the Motor Company agroo to pay a royalty of 3% on the
value of all motors sold to your liaensoo companies within
"their territory. This arrangement will benefit your Com-
! pany by increasing the earning capacity of the licensee
companies in which you are stockholders.
Beference was made in the last annual report to the
'arrangement ma,d,e by your Company with the Edison Co.
for Isolated Lighting, whereby the latter assumed the
direction of the oanvassing and exploitation of central
station business. As explained in the last report, the
Isolated Company was already provided with an offioient
‘"'corps of agents' and eleotricol engineers quite adequate to
, carry on this work in connection with the isolated and
village plant business conceded to them under their
original.contract with your Company.
By the the transfer pf this part of our bnsmess to them
■it relieves your Company of the necessity and responsibility
of carrying a department of trained experts and agents,
while at the same time the central station system is being
more energetically developed and extended.
In the" business of isolated lighting your licensee, the
Isolated Co., has met with very keen competition from
the various infringers on your patents, who, finding they
.'could not benefit themselves, have endeavored to do all the
harm they could to tho business of tho Edison Company.
In pursuing this [course, they hnvo reduced prices to tho
'bare cost' of manufacture aud installation; and'while tho
Isolated Co. has never taken the initiative in this dis¬
astrous warfaro, it has felt bound to moot the issue when
forced upon it. Your Directors have many reasons for be¬
lieving, that this polioy has entailed heavy losses on our
competitors, while the Isolated Co has not" only maintained
its prestige and secured tho bulk of the business, but it
has also succeeded in holding its own financially. Sooner
' or later, tho policy of doing business at cost must tiro out
these various guerrilla companies, if, indeed, thoir opera¬
tions are not sooner ohookod by tho enforcement of our
patents; and[th'ere is no reason to doubt that isolatod busi¬
ness will then again bii profitable.
[CONTINUED FROM THE PRECEDING FRAME]
This, of courso, will bo nugmontod from time to timo
by stock rocooivod from now companies ns thoy aro organ-
It must be romembered, however, that four-fifths or more
of the amount rooeived by us for licouses to sub-oompanios
is in stock, and this being retniuod by your Company, some¬
time must necessarily always olapso before any incomo can
ncorno to your oompany from dividends on this stock.
As all of your licensee companies aro doing well and
indicate excellent earning capacity in the near future, it is
plain that at no distant day our iucome from this source
will bo yory large. Many of tlieso local companies have al¬
ready paid, and nearly all have oarnod dividends. In or¬
der, however, to encourage some of the earlier stations,
your Company has allowed thorn to apply their oarnings
to inoroasing their plant, thereby augmenting tkoir earning
oapaoity and pormanontly adding to the value of the stook
jield by your Oompany.

The committee appointed by the Franklin Institute, and
who had oliargo of the test at first replaced broken lamps ns
they gave out with new ones. One lamp of the Edison, four
of the United States Co., and two of tlio Westingliouse Co.
were thus replaced. The committee finding that all lamps
but the Edison yoro giving out so rapidly, concluded that it
jvas not worth while to substitute now lamps for those
broken. The final result of 1,005 hours’ continuous burning
was as follows:
Edison Lamps, 1 broken out of.. .21
Weston “ 17 “ “ .....24
Stanley “ 19 “ « ...22
Woodhouso & Eawson Lamps, all brokon out of........11
Thus the great superiority of the Edison Lamp above
flll others was scientifically and praotically demonstrated.
The question of tlio legal necessity of calling in the bal¬
ance of increased capital stock, authorized Sept. 24,1883,
having been submitted to the goueral counsel of the Com¬
pany, your Board were advised by him that in order to
comply with tlio requirements of the statute the full amount
of subscriptions slionld bo called in within two years from
the date of increase. Acting upon this opinion, your Board
directed tlio Treasurer to call tlio roinuimng unpaid sub¬
scriptions to bo payable Sept. 22, which has boon done,
although the financial condition of the Company did not
necessitate the call.
The present authorized capital of. tlio Company, viz.,
i $1,080,000, will therefore be full paid as soon as the last of
these installments is collected,
A profitable fiold for the extension of tlio business of our
local Companies has been found in street lighting. Until
recently very little attention was given by us to the lighting
of streets, mainly on account of the comparatively few lights
used within largo aroas and long distances, wliioh neces¬
sitated the use of heavy copper conductors, thus presenting
a serious obstacle to its introduction in an economical way.
By. the uso of what is known, as tho “municipal system,”
•US now applied by your licensee oompanios, a onrront of
greater intensity is employod whioh permits tho use of small
donduotors, and by plaoing the lamps .in series economical
and satisfactory results are obtained. This enables our
licensee companies to compote successfully with arc light
•aid.gas, for street lighting, as well as for interior lighting.
f.As stated in the last report, tlio elootrie railway patents of
Sir. Edison wore assigned to tho Electric Railway C'o. of the
United States, in which tlio Light Company has ono-sixtli in¬
terest, viz., $333,333.34.
Arrangements liavo hoen made with the Manhattan Rail¬
way Co., of New York, to condnot experiments on its Second
avenue line of olovnted railway, for the purposo of testing
the practicability of tho systom of tho Electrio Railway Co.,
on tho elovatod roads in New York City. A third
rail is now boing laid on both tracks of the Second
'avenue line, from Chatham Square to Harlem River, a
total distance of about fifteen miles, and tho ear and
motors for operation thoroon, are nojv rondy at tho shops of
the Edison Machine Works, whence they will bo moved to the
track ns soon as tho laying of tho third rail is completed.
It is then intonded to conduct an extensive series of ex¬
periments and ..to demonstrate fully the great merit and
economy that is believed to exist in our system,
"What has retarded tho advauoe of your company’s busi¬
ness in past years perhaps more than anything elso has been
our inability to refer to central stations that woro earning
money or paying fair dividends, for ronsons given in reports
of former years. Capitalists woro naturally unwilling to
invest money in any enterprise unless it was booked by a
good record, no mntter how favorable tho investment might
.appear prospeotivoly. "Wo oau now point with pride to
almost all of our control station companies, whore financial
.success is on accomplished foot, and a visit to them inspires
such confidence that it is becoming much less diflionlt to
enlist capital in dim enterprises.
In conclusion, your Trustees would soy that nearly all the
^difficulties which hove beset our path have been overcome,
and we regard tho future of the Edison Light and the suo^
cess of your Compnny as assured.
Tho balance sheet of the Compnny to October 1st, 1885,
is submitted herewith.
By order of the Board of Trustees. \

’was not present at that meeting, Mr. Meadowcroft, the Secre¬
t'd

Second Vice-president Eatoi
ated that on January
CL7th, he had gone over, -with Mr. J. P. Bailey, the unfinish¬
ed business relating to the Powers of. Attorney and other
matters from Paris awaiting the action of this Company, and
[memorandum of the entire matters
requiring attenti<
FIRST: Regarding the proposed General Power of At¬
torney referred in the Minutes of the meeting of this Board
it •
j^held January 5th, 1885, Major Eaton stated that Mr. Bailey
|pas of opinion that the form or phraseology of the Power
jof Attorney heretofore executed by this Company and by Mr.
|Edison, bearing date February 29, 1884, would answer for
|the General Power of Attorney now req^red.and .then MnBailoyhal
jstated that this form had been approved by the Law Counsel
ft Paris > M * Puoillet. Major Eaton accordingly advised that
I „ * . ft*' IZdoj
,pll that now remained^ to this Board^was to authorize the
^officers of this Company to execute a Power the same in fonn
II
as the one referred to, and he stated that ho had prepared
jlsuch a power, and, on the suggestion of the President, had
inserted the name of Mr. John H. Harjes, Pasis, as the At¬
torney,:.
Mr. Upton stated that Mr. J. Hood Wright had by re¬
quest of Mr. Edison, babied to Mr. Harjes at Paris, asking
if he would serve as the Attorney, and that Mr. Harjes, after
first declining, had finally, on^epeated request, accepted,
jprovidod he, Harjes, could name an associate attorney.
f n Upton father stated that Mr. Harjes was not yet ready to
||state what his commission would bq further than that it
would be a fair one.
Major Eaton stated that the action.of this Board,
at its meeting January 5th, 1885, in recommending Mr. J. K.
Bailey as the attorney-in-fact of this Company, whose name
should be inserted in the proposed Powers of Attorney now
about to be oxecutod, was not satisfactory to Mr. Edison,
who preferred Mr. John H. Harjes.
j After some discussion the Board decided to adopt Mr.
Edison’s wishes in the matter, and decided to have the Pow-
jers made out in the name of Mr. Harjes.
' On motion of Major Eaton, the following resolution
jwas tlion unanimously adopted, to wit:
| RESOLVED: That the President of this Company be
! I* 4 -' ifc- *»•**>•£ H-f 'fitf
land hereby is authorized to exoeute^the following General 0-
|Power of Attorney, in the name of John H. Harjes, and the
|Secretary of the Company is hereby authorized to affix the
iseal of the Company thereto, and to attest the same, the
said Power being as follows, viz:
SECOND:—Major Eaton stated that as a further re¬
sult of his said conference with Mr. Bailey, mentioned above^
he was prepared to report upon the form of the Special Power
of Attorney, relating to the transfer of the Two Thousand
(2,000) Parts of Founder, to M. Loon, or such other party
as may hereafter be agreed upon. This matter is referred to
in Paragraph No. 5 of Mr. Bailey’s letter to Major Eaton read
at the meeting of the Directors, January 5, 1885, said lot-
eing dated Philadelphia, January 3, 1885, and l
tha ;
w

I Tiajor Eaton stated that the following form of this
Special Power of Attorney had beon prepared in English and
^agreed upon by Mr. Bailey and himself; and that pursuant
j to the President’s request the name of Mr. John H. Harjes had
|been inserted provisionally, subject to the approval of this
'Board. The Secretary, Mr. Meadowcroft stated that this
Powor had been translated from English to French by Mr.
The Board decided to approve of the inserting of
Mr. Harjes’ name in the Power, and, on motion, the following
Resolution was unanimously adopted, viz:
RESOLVED: , That authority be and hereby is now given
ito the President_of this Company to execute the following
Power of Attorney,^and the Secretary of this Company to
Eaffix thereto the seal of this Company, and to attest it,
I viz:
A
THIRD:—Major Eaton,then called attention to the
following Paragraph in Mr. Bailey’s above mentioned letter to
him, dated Philadelphia, January 3, 1885, the Paragraph.be-
/loXY 1
ing,as appears by Mr. Bailey’s letter, . an extract from a
A
letter received by him from M. Leon, as follows, to wit:
ll P. S. It is well understood that you are to remit
“to us Two Hundred and Seventy Parts of Founder (this is as
'arrangod heretofore) to retiro the Parts of the Industri-
i
i“oXlo fi Electricque, held ir, Franco.”
Major Eaton stated that Hr, Bailey had advised him
jit hat what ought now to bo done in this regard is for this
Board of Directors to instruct our proposed Attorney, at
jjParis, (Mr. Harjos), to place 270 Parts of Founder, of the
[Compagnio Continentals, at the disposition of M. Leon, said
Parts of Founder to be in addition to the 2,000 narts of
I /wi ’Ccbr Au
[Founder, but that none of thes'e Parts should be sent to
!l /s "
Iparis unless the present proposed Fusion of the three French
’Companies.wore carried out.
On motion, the Secretary was authorized to prepare
;a letter to this effect to Mr. Harjes, and the officers of
the Company were directed to turn over, for the purpose
mentioned in Leonas.letter,' the said Parts of Founder, to
the number of 270 Parts, whenever requested so to do by
I Mr. Harjos. The Secretary was directed to request Mr. Edi¬
son, as President, to sign the said letter.
I FOURTH:—Regarding the Concessions in the Contracts
jwith the Gorman Company, mentioneft as the second item in
the Minutes of the Meeting of the Directors of this Company
held January 5, 1885, Major Eaton stated he had gone over
the subject again with Mr. Bailey, since the last meeting,
and recommended the adoption of the following resolution,
fvhich, on motion of Major Eaton, was unanimously adopted,

I am Secretary of tho EDISON ELECTRIC LIGHT
COMPANY of Europe, Limited, and make this statement in
addition to the return of said Company verified and filed
on April (XflsSS, and make it a part thereof.
The entire capital stock of the Company, 5.3, !
000,000, has been issued for patents. There have been |
no profits whatever, and there are existing liabilities of
over 5i3d,038.50 without any assets. There has been j
constant outlay and no profit or dividend.
The Company is not engaged in manufacturing,
nor does it own, leaso or use any factory, machinery or
manufacturing appliances. It is not engaged in sellingj
machines or merchandise of uny description, nor does it
carry a stock of goods or merchandise. The oily busi¬
ness the Company has ever done was to take out patents
in European countries for Mr. EDI.ION* 8 ELECTRIC LIGHT IN¬
VENTIONS. The value of these patents is still in doubt,
and thus far they have resulted in no profits whatever.

My Dear Edison:-
We held a Board meeting of the European nompany
to-day and ratified the Belgium contract. Will you please sign
the enclosed three letters and return them to me immediately, as
I must have them here by Monday morning. The document which goes
with the letter you sign as President of the Edison Electric
Light Company of Europe, Limited, I will have ready by the time
the enclosed letters get back to me. We decided at the Board
meeting to cable Upton to get him to obtain the best possible
proposition from Rau with relation to the fusion of the three
companies and cable it over here for our approval. Please do not
fail to attend to the dispatching of the enclosed letters, as I
must have them here by Monday morning.
Very truly yours.
To the Board 1 'of• : Direet'oFs'' , 6‘f'the Edison Eleetr.ic-:iiiiRhrtivx’
Company of Europe, Limited.
. . ,:!ioV v. r 3H • .
You will remember that this Board ratified an agreement
of fusion of the Societe Electrique Edison and Societe Industrials
Edison v/ith the Compagnie Continentale Edison all of Paris, the
ageement being know to us more particularly as the Bailey agreement
and Mr.Seigel of Drexel, Marges & Company of Paris, your attorney
there was authorized to sign it. The enclosed letter, received
from Mr.Seigel and dated Becember24, 1835, encloses a'copy of a
contract which has been presented to him to sign and which he has
refused to do without first submitting it to you and receiving </
your instructions. He calls your attention to the fact that the
Paris Compagnies have dropped entirely the basis of a fusion v/ith
the Corapangnie Continentale and this contract which he is now asked
to sign has for it’s basis a fusion of the Compagnie Continentale
and the Societe Electrique with the Societe Industrialle and Com-
merciale at Paris.
In this letter he calls your attention to many points of
difference. The first of which is oh page ? in last paragraph of
article 3. In the Bailey contract you had the right to step in at
any time (where the patents of Mr.Edison were in danger of infringe
ment or annullation) and establish the validity of the patents.
This right is granted without question. This new contract puts
forward the clause which seems to give away your right, in-Jas"’much
as it says that, " Even if Mr.Edison or the Light Oomnanv gjyiul d
have made use of this right at any timeyan arrangement could stil l
be concluded by t he Societe Industriale and Commerciale Edison ."
This seems to me to deny to us the right (if we think it bestjijto
have' these patents vindicated in a court of law as it might be very
profitable to them personally if • the lawsuit should not proceed.
In parggraph 4, page 7, where in your former contract you
have it clearly understood that under no pretext or condition can
the benefits that accrue to you as holders of the parts of founders
be either modified or diminished even in case of a fusion or an
understanding with any other Company^ To - thia - they have added in
this new contract, " Even with another company exploiting patents
o ther than, the patents of Edison." This addition I cannot see
at present that it will harm us ,but I do not see any use in putting
it in at all.
Article 15, page8, privides in this contract for a sinking
fund, whereas in your other contract nonsuch sinking fund was pro
vided for. In the statutes of the Compagnie Continentale Edison t
there is no provision for this sinking fund but the capital was
obliged to be all paid back before the parts of founder could re¬
ceive anything. In the statutes of the Societe Industriale it is
provided that a sinking fund shall be made\which shall be paid ofT
the capital stock in a certain number of years as it may be fixed
by the Board of Directors. You will remember one of the principal
points of controversy and one of the principal advantages to be
. derived by your Company,^when the Bailey agreement of fusion was
madey was; the capital' oW the^Cbmpa'gniie'l Coniirieritaie and Soeiete
Electrique was .not to fee paid bac k previous to the parts, .o^.founder
receiving any benef it; ill ; If !my: memory: serves- me right.Hhowever 1 1 -,tiv
think that a fund of a amortiasement is a thing in Prance which
the first Board of Di'retutors1,;can vote and therefore if this is so
it would not be wofrt'h while for you to raise an objection to it's
being put in-the statutes, £or-t he f i r a 4 —Boasd thnVritn can
•if.
Page 10 and 11 in articel 43 has an additional clause
which seems objectionable. After recounting that as one of the
charges of general expense a. royalty (payable to the parts of
founder of 11 centimes for all lamps of 5 candles and below and of
centimes for all lamps of six candles and above) shall be paid,
at adds the following peculiar sentence, "In no case shall there be
paid to the parts of founders more than one royalty for each lamp
and the Soeiete Industrials v/ill never have to pay a royalty
greater tO '- i4 than it shall have received itself and only after it
shall have actually been paid for it." I think that this is put
in in order' 1 that lamps manufacture d in Germany which pay a royal¬
ty to the Edison Compagnie in Paris under contract shall be except¬
ed from the general rule of 11 and 22centimes fran the fact that
by their contract the royalty that they pay to the Paris Vompagnie
is regulated by the lowest price of the lamp in any Edison Factory.
It being therefore quite possible that at some futufce time the roy¬
alty paid by Germany might come slightly under these figures the
Soeiete Industriale-wishes to be secure against a dead loss.
Mr.Seigel* s letter says that this royalty was 50 centimes in the
former contract .but as I have not a plan of the former contract I
cannot compare the two. I think however that the royalty of 11 and
22 centimes is lower than what he agreed 6n.
On page 10, same articel, there is an addition of a few
words that I do not think the Light Company ought to accept. It
recites that Mr.Edison and the Light Company pledge themselves and .
their licensees never to sell or to make a delivery directly or in¬
directly in certain countries owned by tte French Compagnie without
the assent of tfife Soeiete Industriale. This in itself would be all
right but there is added to this sentence the words, "under penalty
of damagesJf This in my opinion means that the Soeiete Industriale,
who should look after things to prevent.shipments into it's patent-
ed countries, will have nothing to do buti.sijk down and make a bill
of damages in every case where this is done and Mr.Edison and the
Light Company would be left in the position of employing detectives
all the time to find out and stop all such deliveries and in case
they do not stop all such deliveries they would have to pay what¬
ever damage that was done.
Article 44 in which the division of profits is made in
this contract provides for 6# of the capital paid up whereas your
Bailey contract provided for only 5 % of the capital paid up.
Seifeel also calls your attention to article 46 of the
statutes of the Soeiete Industriale reading as follows, "In cases
oftesufficient pi-ifits of one year to pay the interest of QpS per
share the difference can be taken from the reserve fund if it
'exceeds a tenth of toe capital! 1 As there was no ^reserve fund in on
our Bailey contract 1 of Mrcursef this 1 ar^'ici'e' shtJuidHriot be there..
On page 12 of this contract ^ af thin ffe^hay.ft,.,,the
following, "In. case- :6f! liquidation' &fty >surpliis,’ afterinpaying'iiipjlthe'
.shares, is to be divided,* 15# to the liquidators, 50# to the Board
of Directors and 85# ; rtoythe s f,ounders shares! 1 Now in our Bailey
agreement in case of liquidation, after paying up the capital 20# fi
of the residue went to the Share-holders and 80# went to .the found¬
ers parts.
There is a final clause in this enclosed plan of contract
as to any change that might become necessary in the wording of the
definite contract saying that the same is of course subject to toe
cond tions thBt your rights and those of toe parts*'of founder can¬
not be diminished. Mr.Seigel says that the division of the parts
of fainder as now proposed would give you, as far as final result
is concerned, a smaller interest^bur Mr.Rau tells him in reply
to his objection that the previous arrangement for you to deliver
270 parts of flounder to Mr.Leon would be waived thus giving you the
same pro rata as before. He also remarks that the new plan of
contract appears' to make no allusion as to your being represented
on the Board of Directors. I would suggest that if this paper is
accepted as a basis of contract that you by all means keep in the
last clause of article 20 of the Societe Industriale which says,
“By reason of their position as inventors, Mr.Edison and the Light
Company, can always name one representative to be present at all
the meetings of the Board of'Directors of the Societe Industriale."
It is quite possible that they will want him with a consultation
voice only and no voting powerjwhatever it is we ought to have t
that. I also call your attention to the fact that oil page 10 ,
article 43, of their contract which says"the lamps used in*the
factory and buildings belonging to the Societe Industriale' and
Commercials do not have to pay this royalty and this will be the
case whatever is the capital of the Societe Industriale". Where
? aS Si ? ply a manufacturing com any and had certian
shoufri Iv w y ' V hlnk this clause was quite proper that they
novr iLv ^arged for lamps used in their own business/but
xngs of the manufiacturing part oflheloSete^ndustrJalel^ tUild "
• <:-i h oW n m ! h") a M woaia3
I would make a proposition therefore that a letter be

the second part,
WITNESSETH?

in business and tl*e owner by purchase of the factory, ma¬
chinery, tools, appliances, rights, contracts, good will
and business of THOMAS A. EDISON, PRANCIS R. UPTON, ED¬
WARD H. JOHNSON and CHARLES BATCHELOR, late co-partners,
formerly doing business at Ea3t Newark, N. J., under the
firm name and style of THE EDISON LAMP COMPANY; said
factory having been especially equipped for the manufact¬
ure of incandescent lamps of the character used in con¬
nection with the EDISON'System of incandescent lighting,
and
WHEREAS the LAMP CO,, has heretofore
purchased from the LIGHT CO., a certain factory, and the
tools, appliances and machinery therein contained in the
City of Hamilton in the Province of Ontario, Dominion of
Canada, likewise especially equipped for the manufacture
of incandescent lamps of the character aforesaid, and
WHEREAS the said THOMAS A. EDISON under
and by virtue of a certain contract made between him and
said LIGHT CO., dated the 8th day of March, 1881, was
granted the exclusive license to manufacture the said
EDISON INCANDESCENT LAMPS within the United States, and
the Dominion of Canada, as will more fully appear by in¬
spection of said contracts to which reference Tor greater
particularity is hereby made, and

and
WHEREAS the rights of the respective
parties hereto, the exigencies of business in the light
of the history and experience of those engaged in the en-
terprise, has made it expedient and wise to alter and
modify the terms of said above named agreement and sub¬
stitute therefor the present agreement, and
WHEREAS the LIGHT CO., as the owner for
North and South America of certain patents relating to
Incandescent lighting and the lamps manufactured by the
LAMP CO., is willing, with such safeguard in .respect to
its future business as may be right and proper, (it being
recognized, however, that the LIGHT CO., cannot afford to
put the manufacture of lamps so far out of its control as
would Jeopardize or prejudice its business by reason of
either the prices or supply of such lamps) to confer upon
the LAMP CO., the nxnluaive right of manufacturing Incan¬
descent Lamps to be supplied to the LIGHT CO.or its li¬
censees in North and South America and, under the condi¬
tions hereinafter expressed, for exportation to foreign
countries in which the LIGHT CO. does not own said inven¬
tions, and to that end it is deemed advisable that the
s rights and obligations of the parties hereto should be
expressly defined by a contract between them.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and of the benefit accruing to each of
the parties hereto, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AND DECLARED
by and between the LIGHT CO., and the LAMP CO., as fol¬
lows, that is to say:
FIRST: The LIGHT CO., agrees to grant, and
hereby does grant to the LAMP CO., subject, however, to
all the provisions herein contained, the exclusive right,
privilege and license during the continuance of this
agreement and no longer, to manufacture and sell in the
manner herein provided, the Incandescent Lamp or Lamps
now or from time to time used in connection with the
Electric Lighting System of the LIGHT CO., its successors
or assigns, and described (in whole or part) in Letters
Patent of the United States and Canada, now owned by or
issued or granted to, or that may be hereafter owned by
or issued or granted to the LIGHT CO., or its successors
or assigns, under or by reason of any Contract heretofore
made between the LIGHT CO., and T. A. Er, and in any re¬
issues or extensions of either or any of said Patents in
the United States and Canada; and said right, privilege
or license shall continue during the life of all of said
Patents and the reissues or extensions thereof unless
this agreement of license shall have been previously ter¬
minated as herein provided Tor. The LIGHT CO., further
covenants and agrees that during the existence of this
Contract it will not license or sanction the introduction
into the United States or Canada, to be used or sold
therein, the same or similar lamps manufactured elsewhere
or by other parties except as hereinafter provided for.
As regards all the aforesaid lamps covered by
this agreement, the LAMP CO., will not, without the writ¬
ten consent of the LIGHT CO., make any sales whatever, or
otherwise supply any of such articles, to any persons or
parties whatever during the granted life or renewals of
the said patents, or any of them except to the LIGHT CO.,
or to such other persons and corporations as the LIGHT
CO., may from time to time direct, with full power on the
part of the LIGHT CO., to revoke in whole or in part at
any and all times. But the LAMP CO., acting in good
faith, may supply all of the articles covered by this
agreement for use outside of North and South America,
provided each article is marked indelibly with these two
words, to wit, Eor Export:^* and the LIGHT CO., shall al¬
ways have the right, so long as any of said articles are
covered by any of the provisions of this agreement, to
satisfy itself, by inspecting the books and records of
the LAMP CO., that said articles are furnished in good
faith for actual exportation, and that said exportation
actually takes place. The LAMP CO., shall always give
preference to orders for consumption in the countries
covered by the patents of the LIGHT CO.
The license herein given to the LAMP CO., is
a
granted to them as a privilege personal to them, and i,s
not to be assigned or transferred by them in any way, and
this agreement shall, at the option of the LIGHT CO.,
terminate forthwith (1) upon their making or attempting
to make any assignment of it or of any of the rights or
privileges herein conceded to them, or (2) upon any such
assignment resulting by operation of law.
+
SECOND: The lamp CO., will, and hereby does,
admit and acknowledge the validity of all patents per¬
taining to incandescent electric lamps, and to the manu¬
facture thereof and to whatever appertains to the EDISON
system of electric light, heat and power which the LIGHT
CO. may own or acquire while this agreement lasts, and
the validity and utility of the inventions therein de¬
scribed and claimed; and hereby covenant, whether this
agreement continues or not, and whether any adverse de¬
cision in an action at law or a suit in equity on any
of such patents shall have been rendered or not, that
they will not violate, infringe or contest the validity
of any such patents, during their several terms of life
as originally granted or afterwards extended, or the suf¬
ficiency or their specifications, or the validity of the
title of the LIGHT CO., to any such patents or any of
them, or aid and encourage others in so doing; save and
except, however, that if any of such patents shall have
been adjudicated invalid, in any action at law or suit in
equity, and the LIGHT CO. shall not have appealed there¬
from, or if in the event of such appeals, the final adju-
7
dication shall have been adverse to the validity of such
patent, the LAMP CO. shall then no longer be bound, as
above provided for, to admit and acknowledge the validity
of such patent or patents, thus adversely adjudicated up¬
on.
The LAMP CO., will, without further compensa¬
tion, assign to the LIGHT 00. all inventions, patents,
licenses and other rights for devices or methods employed
in the EDISON system of electric light, heat and power,
or employed in manufacturing articles therefor, which they
now possess, or which they may hereafter acquire, during
the existence of this contract; but the LAMP CO., shall
have the sole right to use such devices and methods em¬
ployed in manufacturing, for the purpose (and only for
that purpose, except as otherwise provided for herein) of
manufacturing articled which are not applicable to the
said EDISON system.
The LAMP CO. will promptly notify the LIGHT CO.
of any patentable inventions or devices which they may
tAHnrTrhile this agreement lasts; and they will, without
charge, and at their own expense, patent the same, at the
request of the LIGHT CO., and assign the patents to the
LIGHT CO.
THIRD: The LAMP CO. will endeavor to reduce
the cost of manufacturing standard lamps, as hereinbefore
flat ai l ed , and whenever the average cost thereof shall
fall below
30 a for 16 Candle Lamps
for 10 do
it will lower its prices to the LIGHT CO. to the extent
of one half of the difference in price between the said
respective prices and the actual average cost of the
lamps manufactured, provided the LIGHT CO. makes a like
reduction in its prices to consumers within 30 days after
the 1st of January and July in each year the said LAMP
GO., will render to the LIGHT CO., an accurate statement
of the number of lamps of each kind manufactured during
the preceding six months, and the actual cost thereof,
and if the actual cost shall be less than the prices last
above named, the LAMP c0. will pay over to the LIGHT CO.
one half of the difference between such actual cost and
the price last above named for all lamps for which the
LAMP CO. shall have received payment during the next pre¬
ceding period of six months; and the LIGHT CO., by its
officers, agents and accountants shall have free access
at all reasonable times to the manufactory and the books
9
of the said LAMP CO., and all other books connected with
the business thereof for the purpose of determining and
verifying the statements so made.
In determining cost, the total manufacture or
output during the six months, whether for the LIGHT CO.,
or for foreign export, shall be taken into account, and
the average cost of all the lamps manufactured during
said six months as compared with the average selling
prices of same period, shall determine whether the sell¬
ing prices can be reduced or not; but if any foreign
lamps during said six months shall have been sold at less
than the average cost, in computing* the cost as above,
the lamps so sold shall be taken at cost.
(Similar clauses for Canada.)
f
FOURTH: The aforesaid cost of manufacture,
for.the purposes of this agreement, shall be restricted
to the actual cash cost of (1) labor, (2) material, and
(3) general expenses, as follows, viz:
(1) The actual cash paid to workmen for labor
performed on said articles shall constitute the cost of
labor.
(2) The actual cash paid for material going
into said articles shall constitute cost of material, and
if any of such material is purchased on other than a cash
basis, or otherwise, so that it costs more than when
bought for cash, corresponding deductions shall be made
so as to bring the price to the lowest obtainable cash ba¬
sis.
10
(3) General expenses shall be restricted to
(a) depreciation, (b) fixed charges, (c) salaries, (d)
sundry items, and (e) royalties, the same being fully de¬
scribed below, viz:
fa) An allowance of four percentum on the
said cost of labor and material shall constitute depreci¬
ation.
fb) Insurance, rent and taxes shall consti¬
tute fixed charges. If premises are owned instead of
rented, six per centum on the actual cash invested, to¬
gether with the interest on mortgages, if any, shall.con¬
stitute rent.
fc) Such salaries for officers, superintend¬
ents, boojn-keepers and clerks as are now paid (a state¬
ment of which is hereto annexed, marked Exhibit A), to¬
gether with reasonable increases thereof as business in¬
creases, shall constitute the item of salaries.
(d) Whatever enters directly into the cost of
production, other than actual material and labor, shall
constitute the said sundry items.
(e) The LAMP CO., may also include in general
expenses such royalties as they may hereafter pay, touch¬
ing the articles covered by this agreement, so long as
they continue to pay than and to use the inventions they
cover, with the consent or the LIGHT CO. But they shall
not use any inventions requiring payment of royalties,
except with the consent of the LIGHT CO.; if they do,
they shall not be entitled to include such royalty in any
calculation of cost, or to include in such calculation
11
any excess of material or labor required for such inven¬
tions.
The said cost of manufacture shall be made up
from the books of the LAMP CO., within thirty days after
each and every December 31st and June 30th, respectively.
In making up the said cost semi-annually, each half-year
is to stand entirely by itself, but if on any June 30th
it appears that the profits for the next preceding six
months have been either more or less than this agreement
provides for, such excess or deficiency shall bo carried
over to the next December 31st to be equalized by any
surplus or deficiency arising from the business of said
last named six months, after the allowance of the per¬
centage of profit herein provided for; and if any sur¬
plus arising from the business of the entire twelve
months, next preceding, shall then remain, it shall be
divided equally between the LIGHT GO. and the LAMP CO.
If it is found that the profits for any entire year end¬
ing on said December 31st of any half-year exceed the
fixed percentage of profit herein provided for, the pric¬
es of such articles as the LIGHT CO., may then designate,
or, if the LIGHT CO., fails to avail itself of this op¬
tion, such articles as the LAMP CO., may designate, shall
be reduced enough 'to thereafter absorb such excess.
At al'vl. siich, o^mi-annual accountings the LIGHT CO., shall
have full and free access to all books of account and
records of the LAMP CO.
Under no circumstances shall the price of any
12
article to the LIGHT CO., and its licensees, including
cost, profit, royalty and whatever else may be included
pursuant to this agreement, exceed the present or any
future net price of such article charged by the LAMP CO.
to the LIGHT CO.
■ f
FIFTH: Regarding articles manufactured by
the LAMP CO., and covered by this agreement, the LIGHT
CO. shall not, during the continuance of this agreement,
license other manufacturers to make them, except (1) for
good cause, or (2) in the case of intermediary companies
formed to exploit territory. If any such licenses be
granted, they shall neither (l) be at lower rates or on
better terms than those at the time allowed the LAMP CO.;
nor (3) exclude the LAMP CO. from jointly occupying and
competing in the same territory while this agreement
lasts. Existing licensee contracts heretofore made by
the LIGHT CO., are excepted from this provision, as pro¬
vided for in the eleventh section herein.
No license is to be granted to others for gs&d.
flans*, as above, except in one or more of the following
cases, viz: (l) the non-performance by the LAMP CO. of
this contract or any condition of it; (2) their doing
anything prejudicial to the interests of the LIGHT CO.,
and in defiance of its written protest; (3) their making
such conditions with regard to manner or cost of manu¬
facture as are to the manifest disadvantage of the prog¬
ress of the EDISON system, and prejudicial to the LIGHT
13
CO., and in defiance of its written protest; (4) where
this contract is terminated on account of the LAMP CO*S
refusing to arbitrate, as set forth in the thirteenth
section herein; or (5) breach by the LAMP CO. of the
provisions of the seventh section herein.
SIXTH: The custom heretofore adopted by the
parties hereto of importing into Canada, carbon, glass,
platinum and wires for the manufacture of lamps therein
may be continued, the articles named being now necessary
as in the past, to the successful and economical manufac¬
ture of said lamps in Canada.
fMemo. Explain this custom)
SEVENTH: The LAMP CO. hereby covenant and
agree to pay to the LIGHT CO., the sum of three cents for
each and every of said lamps manufactured and sold by it
of which the selling price is not above fifty cents, in
North or South America, as consideration for the rights
and privileges hereby granted,and as a compensation to
the LIGHT CO. on the, sale of said lamps, and for any risk
it may assume in guaranteeing the payment of sales to its
licensees as herein provided for.
And the LAMP CO. hereby agrees to make monthly
settlements, and to render to the LIGHT CO., monthly
statements of the lamps sold in the preceding month, and
the books of account of the LAMP CO., shall be open to
the inspection of the LIGHT CO., its duly appointed
agents or officers, during business hours for the reason-
14
able inspection of its agents or officers to verify said
monthly statements.
EIGHTH: The LAMP CO., shall, at their own ex¬
pense, make all experiments requisite to cheapen or oth¬
erwise improve their several articles, and in cases where
such experiments are consented to in advance, or after¬
wards approved, by the LIGHT CO., such expense may be
treated as a special charge upon the profits of the half-
year when the experiment is completed, and in case the
profits of the half-year, after deducting such special
charge, are found to fall short of the allowed per centum
of profit, said expense may be carried forward to the
next half-year, and no longer, and be charged against any
excess of profit then accrued, but if such excess is in¬
sufficient to cover such expense, any amount remaining
shall be borne wholly by the LAMP CO. Any experiment
made without the approval of the LIGHT CO. shall be an
expense to be borne by the LAMP CO., and no allowance
shall be made therefor, unless the LIGHT CO. afterwards
adopt the improvement, in which case the expense shall be
a special charge as above.
All expense and outlay heretofore incurred by
the LAMP CO., in making experiments, taking out patents,
and acquiring patents and licenses, are assumed by them,
and shall not be charged to the LIGHT CO., or be deducted
from future profits. But all expense hereafter incurred
by the LAMP CO., with the LIGHT C0»S consent, in purchas¬
ing patents and procuring licenses from others, shall be
15
treated as a special charge upon profits the same as pro¬
vided for above in this section, touching experiments.
t
NINTH: The LAMP CO., agrees, within sixty-
days after the receipt of orders, from time to time dur¬
ing the continuance of this agreement, to be always ready
to supply the demand for lamps of the LIGHT CO., and of
such parties as it may from time to time direct, when
such lamps are needed for the installation of new plants
or for renewals in plants heretofore or at any time here¬
after to be installed, but not for lamps in excess of a
reasonable stock for current wants to be carried in stock
to provide against possible contingencies, and all lamps
so sold shall be carefully packed and delivered, properly
addressed either to some responsible Express Company, or
to the Railway Station nearest their factory or factories
free of all charge, except the charge for lamp as per
schedule herein recited, and for packing or packages as
per schedule A hereto annexed.
AND WHEREAS it has heretofore been
the custom of the assignees of the LIGHT CO., and more
especially of its principal licensees to wit, the EDISON
COMPANY £nn . I s o la ted Lighting, to carry a stock of lamps
to provide against possible contingencies, it is now rec¬
ognized and agreed by the LAMP CO., that the demand for
lamps herein contemplated, which the LAMP CO. is to sup¬
ply within sixty days, is separate and apart from the
keeping up and maintenance of such stock, which need not
16
be drawn upon for such current wants after sixty days as
aforesaid.
The LAMP CO. will keep their work up to the •
highest standard attained by any manufacturer of incan¬
descent lamps, either at home or abroad; provided this
does not involve the purchase of unobtainable patents,
and will at all times give preference to the orders and
work of the LIGHT CO., and its licensees, and maintain
ample capacity therefor, reasonably increasing their
plant as the demand increases • Failure to do all or
any of these things shall constitute good cause for the
LIGHT CO., to at once cancel this Contract, or license
other manufacturers. But the LAMP CO., will not be lia¬
ble in damages to the LIGHT CO., or its licensees, on ac¬
count of such failure, except as ordered by the Arbitra¬
tion Committee herein provided for.
All lamps manufactured by the LAMP COMPANY,
party of the second part, shall be according to the stan¬
dard styles and grades fixed and determined upon by said
party of the first part, and from time to time altered
or modified by it so as to enable said party of the first
part to roquire the introduction from time to tims of all
possible improvements affecting either the style, econo¬
my, durability or other necessary qualities of such
1 ampbut under no contingencies shall the party of the
second part be authorized or permitted to charge for said
lamp or lamps to be sold in the United States or Canada
at their factory or factories a sum or sums in excess of
the amounts named in the Schedules hereinbefore recited.^
17
The quality of all lamps to be manufactured as at pres¬
ent determined, shall be such that under ordinarily fav¬
orable circumstances and ordinary use, they will have an
average burning life of One thousand hours when giving
light at the rate of 10 candles for every 300 foot pounds
of Electric Energy supplied to the lamps.
The LAMP CO shall have the right to refuse all
orders unless payment be made, or unless guaranteed by
said party of the first part. It shall also have the
right to require, as a condition of its filling any or¬
ders, that payment be made before the 20th day of the
month following the delivery of the lamps and in all
cases where payment may be guaranteed by said party of
the first part, such payment must be made by them within
a like period.
tenth: The LAMP CO will keep full specifi¬
cations and data in respect of all devices manufactured
by them, and will accord to the LIGHT CO,, full oppor¬
tunity to examine the same and otherwise familiarize it¬
self with the manufacture thereof, including free access
to all parts of their work; and will at any time supply
to the LIGHT CO. any part or all of such specifications
and scientific and mechanical data, drawings and models,
as it may demand, upon the payment of the cost of their
preparation.
ELEVENTH: Whereas all the present stockhol¬
ders in the LAMP CO have executed an agreement of even
18
/
date herewith, a copy of which is hereto annexed marked
Exhibit A, reference to which is now made; it is agreed
that the LAMP CO. will always in good faith do all they
can to secure to the LIGHT CO full and faithful perfor¬
mance of such agreement by the said stockholders. The
LAMP CO. rur ther agree that while this contract lasts
they will not change^tHeir present organization, and that
they will never dor or perform any act whatever, nor abet
or connive at the performance of any act, which may in
any way lead to an evasion of any of the provisions con¬
tained anywhere in this agreement.
TWELFTH: Whereas the LIGHT CO. has already
made certain contracts with licensee companies (a com¬
plete list being hereto annexed marked Exhibit B), which,
m some instances, may constitute authority to manufac¬
ture:- it is agreed that all the rights herein granted
to the LAMP CO are taken by them subject to the rights
already granted and the obligations already incurred in
said contracts.
the LAMP CO. agree to continue with due dili¬
gence the development or business, and to manufacture
such new and addition lamps, in the same general line
or class of goods, as may be required from time to time,
assigning to the LIGHT C 0. all patents thereon, and
otherwise bringing said articles fully under the provis¬
ions of this Agreement; and such new and additional
articles, together with the articles mentioned in said
Exhibit C, shall constitute the articles covered by this
Agreement.
19
\
THIRTEENTH: Whenever by the terms of this
agreement, any matter or controversy shall arise which is
to be decided, by or left to, arbitration, it shall be
submitted to a board of three arbitrators, one to be ap¬
pointed by the LIGHT CO. one by the LAMP CO,, and the
third by said two arbitrators; but if either of the
parties hereto shall neglect or refuse to appoint an ar¬
bitrator for a period of ten days after written request
by the* other party so to do, or (if the two to be chosen
as above shall neglect or refuse to appoint a third, as
above, for a period of ten days after their appointment
then, and in either of the said events, the party here¬
to not in fault in the premises may apply, first, to the
presiding^of the General Term of the Supreme Court for
the First Department of the State of New York, or, if
he declines to serve or omits, for ten days, to make the
appointment hereinafter provided for, second, to the
Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New
York, or, if he declines to serve or omit for ten days,
to make the said appointment, third, to the Central Trust
Company of New York:- to appoint the arbitrator or arbi¬
trators so omitted by neglect or refusal as aforesaid to
be appointed; and the said Justice, or, in his default,
the said Secretary, or 1 the said Trust Company, as the
case may be, shall give to the parties hereto such notice
of the time and place when’and where he will make said
appointment, or appointments, as he shall deem reasonable
and proper, and shall at said time and place after hear-
ing tho parties hereto or either of them, if they or
either of them desire to be heard make such appointment;
and it is hereby agreed that the action of such party
making the said appointment or appointments, as aforesaid
shall be binding and that the arbitrator or arbitrators
so appointed shall exercise the same powers as if chosen
in the other way first provided for above.
The decision and award of said arbitrators, or
a majority of them, shall be binding upon the parties
hereto. All the expenses of the arbitration, except
lawyers’ fees, shall be equally divided between the LIGHT
CO' and the LAMP CO. In case the matter or controversy
to be submitted to arbitration be one to which the pro¬
visions of Title Eight of Chapter Seventeen of the Code
of Civil Procedure of New York are applicable, such mat¬
ter or controversy shall be submitted to said board of
arbitrators according to and subject to all the provis¬
ions, of said title, provided that the parties hereto or
either of them so request in writing and a judgment of
the Supreme Court of the State of New York shall be ren¬
dered upon the award and be entered in New York County.
FOURTEENTH; It is further agreed as follows,
viz:
1. The LIGHT CO. will, in good faith, enforce
and protect the patents assigned to it by the LAMP CO.
under this agreement, but in the event of the LIGHT CO’SJ
riot instituting proceedings against infringers or de¬
fending said patents against actions brought by others,
21
O^-tyA. farUcL tv-v T-»<
^the LAMP CO. shall have the right themselves, subject to
the general supervision of the LIGHT CO., to institute
such actions and carry on such defences.
2. All patents assignable by the LAMP CO.
to the LIGHT CO., under this agreement shall be assigned
as soon as issued. If this agreement is terminated
while applications for patents are pending, that is to
say, between the date of filing an application and the
issue of the patent or such patents shall be assigned
when issued.
3» Whenever this agreement provides for any
consent being given by either of the parties hereto, it
is agreed that such consent must always be in writing,
and otherwise not to be binding.
4. All the provisions in this contract as to
licensees of the LIGHT CO. shall apply to the LIGHT CO.
itself, should it become a manufacturer. But the LIGHT
CO. will not engage in manufacturing the articles cover¬
ed by this agreement while it lasts, except for good
cause, defined above, or as otherwise provided for here¬
in.
5. All the provisions contained in this
agreement apply also to the license granted to the LAMP
CO. f
6. Whereas there are certain obligations in
this agreement which continue after the agreement itself
22
shall have bean terminated; and,
WHEREAS, doubt may arise as to whether
certain phrases used in this agreement, to wit, "during
the continuance of this agreement;” "while this agree¬
ment continues;" 'during the existence of this contract"
while this agreement lasts; • are meant to refer to this
agreement itself, or to the continuing obligations sur¬
viving the agreement;- it is agreed that the said phras¬
es, and others of like import, relate to the actual con¬
tinuance and existence of this agreement itself, until
it shall have been cancelled or terminated, and not to
such continuing obligations and conditions as are provid¬
ed for herein to survive the agreement itself and to con¬
tinue in operation after its termination; but neither
party shall be relieved from any obligations under this
agreement arising by reason of any act done or omitted
or any matter happening, before the time of such termi¬
nation.
7. No license or agreement to license by the
LIGHT CO. herein contained shall be construed to refer
to, or to embrace by implication or otherwise, any li¬
cense or agreement to license under any letters patent
except such as the LIGHT CO. may own during the contin¬
uance of this: agreement and license. No grants, or
licenses or privileges shall be implied from the licenses
and privileges expressly granted by this agreement to
the LAMP CO. and to the LIGHT CO. respectively; but the
rights and privileges of both the LIGHT CO. and the LAMP
CO., severally, shall be restricted to those expressly
mentioned in this agreement.
8. The primary object of this contract is
recognized as the protection of the LIGHT CO. and the
general development of the EDISON SYSTEM OP LIGHT, HEAT
AND POWER on a basis of fairness to all concerned and on
a basis that shall put it in the best possible position #o
compete with and overcome all rivals and protect it from
possibility of enc-roachment by them. All provisions
are to be interpreted with due recognition of this, and
with recognition that all contingencies and details can¬
not be foreseen or specially provided for.
9. The term EDISON SYSTEM OP LIGHT, HEAT
AND POWER, used herein, signifies the system of gener¬
ating, distributing and apply electric currents accord¬
ing to the patents of the LIGHT CO., as such system now
exists, or as it may hereafter be modified by THOMAS
ALVA EDISON, or the LIGHT CO.
FIFTEENTH: If at any time or times by reason
of improvements tending towards economy of manufacture
or otherwise, the LIGHT CO. should deem the prices charg¬
ed by the LAMP CO. as too high or unreasonable or as
acting as a restriction on business or the profits there¬
of, it shall have the right to demand from the LAMP CO.
such reductions as it, may deem proper, and if granted
within 30 days, they shall take effect forthwith; but
if not granted, the party of the LIGHT CO. shall have
the right at any time thereafter, on giving six months
24
written notice, to cancel this contract and purchase its
lamps from other persons or corporations, and all li¬
cense herein given shall then revert to the LIGHT CO.;
but if the prices at which the LIGHT CO. so purchases
from such other persons or corporations shall, after,
one year from the date of cancellation of this contract
be higher than those which it had previously demanded
from the LAMP CO., the LIGHT CO. shall for the two years
next ensuing pay to the LAMP CO., monthly in cash, such
sum as may be equal to such excess of price or the number
of lamps purchased in the next preceding month by the
LIGHT CO. or any licensee thereof.
SIXTEENTH: In case the LAMP CO., shall supply
or sell lamps to any person or corporation in North or
South America other than the LIGHT CO., or such per-sons
or corporations as it may from time to time direct (with
full power of revocation) or shall fail to keep proper
/books of account for the purpose herein provided, or
shall refuse access thereto as herein provided, or shall
fail to render accounts as herein provided, or shall fail
to furnish models Ac., Ac., Ac., as herein provided, or
shall delay the supply of lamps except as herein provided
it shall be at the option of the LIGHT CO., to revoke
forthwith or at any time thereafter all the licenses
granted or arising thereunder.

Dear Sir
In aletter rooeivod a day or two ago from Mr Edison he writes
“Ocrald you use the patterns for the 1GE12 Engine ,They are the property of
the Edison Machine Vfo rks and I think Mr Batcihe lor would like to dispose of
them tq you .If you are inclined to purchase them , I shall he glad if
you will enter into oommnioation with hinf‘
I believe you understand that we received an order from Mr
Edison-for the drawings, patterns and one Engi ne and that -we o xeout ed the
order, shipping the Engine when ordered to do so, for which we recoived
the amount of the hill
We afterwards sont the drawing as requested for -which we ha-ve never
been paid
We did not send the patterns as we were in hopes you would order
Twj or three more Engines from us
As the patterns have not been sent they have not been,
billed to you..You will agree thatwe ought to be paid , and now as to our
taking the patterns as suggested by Mr Edison ,we oannot use them to any
advantage and in no way except to alter them over into our new s tyle of
Eigine and that seems a groat pity ,ag they are , they ought in time to m r
becoimvaltable, when it is found as it certainlywi 11 be tint the engine
ydU'have is as good at the end of five or ten years as it was the day it
Tie Straight-Line Engine Company,
I We enolose am itemized bill of the aotual oost of the patterns
j a:nd :had al ways intended to oharge them up to the Edison Phohine Works at
They will not be worth to ns more thin $200. oo to use for alter
over, and we oannot rig speoial uaohinery to build tint size alone , or
abandon all our old patterns of our standard size and build all of your
style , we have not the capital to hold the patterns , as we think sons
one ought to.
The new style we speak.o.f is one equal to the best of the XXE
; other s iggle-valve Engines .and^ana--tha*:wil l enable 113 to oonpete with
them in price .A; 84iSE0P at.$660.oo (We enclose Blue Print) .
Let ..us.. sett.Ia. abo-ut the.ipatte ms and payment for both for patterns and dra
wings without delay and if it is with you as .with us .inconvenient to raise
the money.„WD will, accept paper on such time as you will be able to imet it

Dear Sir:—
As I shall be in Chicago next week I write to askyou
to let me know if it is possible to get that note next Tuesday.
We have at last got eastings for a few sets in and
we shall know in a couple of days how much alterations we shall
make. I hope when I get back to have a couple of interchangeable
drills. Everything is now ordered but the oilers, swages and
weights all of which I am figuring with different parties on and
shall give the contract as soon as I am sure I have the best thing,
the cheapest.
If you can oblige me I shall feel gratified; I
think we deserve it as if we had had a model as our contract says
and had had no changes we should have been a long way further
ahead.
Very Truly Yours,
Chas.Batchelor,

I write to ask you to send tlie note for SH.ono.no,
called for by my contract as first payment on it.
The material as per contract is now in and a great
deal of the work is already far along in process of finishing.
The tools have been finished for some time.
We are now running through three drills in order
to see if the tools are all right, when we shall immediately push
tbrought the order. Altera ions in the patterns and changes have
delayed us.a little but I am happy to say, in my opinion, we are
all right now and can still deliver seme drills in this month.

The 'model' rock drill (made from the tools) is; now

Before proceeding with their manufacture we shall
require that you give us in writing your acceptance of this ma¬

which you ordered of us on March 30th, of the present year in place
of the model you then supplied us with and which has been altered
according to your instructions.
Please inspect the same at as early a date as possi¬
ble and if any changes are necessary let us know so that we can
make it to your entire satisfaction.
We are putting a complete tripod together also so
that you can pass upon that at the same time.
We are quite ready now to commence on the work and
can begin to deliver drills in a very short space but we cannot co
commence until you have expressed yourself satisfied that we are
right.

Dear Sir:—
The Milan people want me to quote them now for
another Jumbo. What do you think we should do, ou e ht
we to try and make some arrangements with the English
people to sell one of theirs and if so in what manner
can we cable them to get a reply? i understand they
j hav0 written to Paris to get the price of one of those
| two that I built but as I know the Paris Company are
about to use all three of the Jumbos that they ha v e in
the Paris Town Hall, I think it hardly likely that they
will be able to get one.

Yours of the 19th to hand in regard to Powers Hotel
armature. Wo have now a man there looking after it but the ^ma¬
ture forthis place is giving us trouble in the shoF after extended
bests owing to the fact that the mass of wire i3 so great in the
connection cups that ws cannot keep good epntact and we cannot tell
exactly when we shall be able’'.to replace it. We are pushing
through the necessary tools for making the new connection cup design
ed by Mr.Batchelor and as soon as we have them all our difficulties
ws believe -with the No,8 machine will be obviated. We mpde four
tests of No.8 machines this week all of which are unsatisfactory
owing to bad contact.
We are keeping in mind this Powers Hotel matter and
have a man there, therefore we do not think they will bo incon¬
venienced wary much and immediately we can get out some good ones
shall replaco the armature.
l^e call your attention to the fast that this alter¬
ation in all the connections of the dynamos is going to give us
considerable work and delay and would therefore ask your indul-
Batcheiob.

We hand you a statement of ours against the
Shamokin Company, in it you will find that on October 25th and
November 3d, lbb4 we had bills for this Company for furnishing new
brush holders for their machines. They have steadily refused to
pay these bills and say that they sent back to the instruction de->
partment two sets of old *H* brush holders in place of them. We
have of course refused to accept these as we never order them to
send them back. They however sent back these brush-holders and
they were entered to the account of the Construction Company.
I should like to get this matter settled up before Janurary 1st
and probably you can suggest some way to settle.it as I believe
you have some account with this Company also. We are quite willing
to do anything that is fair but you know these people ordered from
us the brush holders and then when we asked for payment they simply
told us they had sent old ones back in place of them with which
we had nothing to do at all. Can you propose anything?
Truly Yours,

Samuel Insuli:—
Would say in regard to the second clause that The
Edison Machine Works' prices can never be regular quotations as
the price varies every day witl{ t e price of material. We cannot
put up a list price and say we will never sell lower than that
because the discount is regulated always by the price of material
at the time. We can say thqrt our prices will be regulated accord¬
ing to the terras, of .our■contfact with the Light Company.
In regard to the Callender Company guaranteeing its
cables against faults other than ne chanical troubles would say
i'X. that this ought also to include mechanical troubles that are easily
> < foreseen, as for instance ,the laying of a cable so close to the
'^surface that the: heavy jfcraff ic^^^^over it would crush down the
!o/'~ earth and damage it, or such like faults. The contract should
'^exempt from this guarantee only.those mechanical troubles which
are impossible to be foreseen.
On the second page where the work must be done to
the satisfaction of the Callender Company's man.we.should require
that the Callender Company's supervisor vwill give to The Edison
Machine Works each time that a cable is laid a certificate stating
that the v/ork is properly done and this certificate should be
accepted by the Callender Company so that their responsibility in
the matter can be fixed easily, if necessary. The same kind of a
certificate shall be given th Th'e .Edison Machine Works in the case
of hepait*s which are done under the supervision of the Callender
Company's man. In case the Company should not send a man. to;.super¬
vise the making of the repair, the Callender Company must accept
our account in the same manner that they would if their supervisor
had over looked the work. ---
In regard t.o -payinents^wou ; ld> say that the Callender
Company to receive^payments as Thtf^EdiSjgn^M^lUne Works receive
theirs and in_kind»- \.. ..
The claus/e ijithe middle of the second page in re- \
gard to the compounds shpcflFVaad so:— "TheeCallender-Company to
supply The Edison Machine W<|rks.w-ith receipt for making the Callen-, /
der Company's insulating compounds roitansu1ating and surrounding \j
cables and such compounds THe Edison Machine "'orks are to be allow(|
ed to makt ift'bisy so desire |or to use it^s own compounds in place
of it. » The N
The Callender Company should supply every speciality
that mey be necessary for laying their cables beside the bitumin¬
ous bridges.
The clause in regard to turning over all cable man¬
ufacture to them is very braod and I: think it would be unwise Tor
us to keep that in unless you should add to the last paragraph but
one the words, "to make them itself or return to it's own cable
manufacture,'' I mean the second paragraph on the third page.
The contract should provide that the Callender
Company must not give a price for a cable^laid^ lower than .we do
-They^
' agree:; always to give us 10# better price on the cable but as
the item of laying the cable in many cases is very large bndthe
boxes and compound form a large item he might be able to quote
the price of a cable laid at a lower price than we could by taking
off all profit on material, labor and laying.
The contract should also provide that in sompe
specific cases we are at liberty to use whatever cable we like or
whiqh is in our jedgement the best for the purpose. There are many
places where short pieces of cable go in which we might think that
a piece of kerite cable would be the only thing that would do in
the case. As an instance,to show that we do not waht to be arbi¬
trary in this, we have to pass with our cables underground where
boilers, bake ovens, heating apparatus are or aiong,.sid§, steam - -
heating pipes, where the heot in the trench would injure’the cable:'
In such cases we must be allowed to put in vhatever system of con¬
ductor we deem it best to use in that particular place.
In he third paragraph of the first page, the word
any should be interposed to make it read as follows:— * The
Callender Company to bill their cables to The Edison Machine Works
at prices 10# lower than that given by The Callender Company to
any other parties.
The Edison Machine Works.

tal stock of the Company was *30,000. .

RESOLVED; That the Capital Stock of this Cor¬
poration be increased from *10,000
to *30,000 and that the amount by

chase of property necessary' for the
